I'm an idiot, I was thinking of the API swim as opposed to the OCS swim qual. As you were.

Thanks for the info guys! I pretty much have all the basics down, like rolling over to breath and what not, so I'll try to work on my kicks and leading with my fingers. Would you guys advice rolling over to breath to the left and right, or should rolling over to one side only be fine?
I'm not worry about timing issues, I just want to be outswam by this little girl. lol

Whatever side feels stronger and you'll be fine. Breathe to both for body balance but you aren't exactly competing.
Agreed. Technically both sides is "proper," but whatever you are more comfortable with is fine.

Hey hey now, no shame in being out swam by a small girl. Atleast not if they live where you swim year round.
She's lying to you. There is plenty of shame lol

I've never been shameful of girls out running/swimming me (there's plenty of them out there). The problem comes when they can also out squat, bench, deadlift, pushup, pull-up you... NOW you've got a problem!She's lying to you. There is plenty of shame lol

I've got two friends that are girls that I run or bike with on a normal basis. Both kick my ass in both activities. Talk about motivation!
at the end of the day I think the only thing that matters is how much you can curl, right?

Buy or borrow a pool buoy. Put it between your legs, no kicking. Swim 10 laps arms only, and count the arm strokes it takes to get to each wall. Try to decrease that number. Then time your laps. Point? To get your arms stretching longer every pull, and when you pull the water back, loosely cup your hand and make it a powerful pull that actually propells you. If you dont count strokes and time yourself it will be hard to improve that stroke. Then, add legs on lap 11.. it will feel like you're flying.
