Maybe I don't understand what you mean by reflex time, but I would've said increasing it was a
bad idea. I don't see what it has to do with swimming anyway, except for the response to the
start signal.
Increasing flexibility is good for swimming, particularly in the shoulders and ankles. Does pilates
do that? Why do you call it pilates? Is it greek? I'm not a fan of greek stuff.

Lara,
anything that helps with flexibility and increases core stablity is a big plus for swimming. I go to
a pilates class as I thought it would be good for my running flexibility.

Ah, well then what is your opinion of the Anita Nall picture? Andres seems to think her back is not
arched yet, but Larry is loath to offer an opinion.
