So recently my friend recorded me doing some easy laps in a 25 meter pool. I saw that my stroke was not really as good as I thought. Here is a link to it 28072011016 - YouTube (Sorry for the bad quality) . I compared my stroke to people like Cesar cielo , weber gale , Fred bousquet etc. and found out that those strokes are much superior to mine. Plz give me some tips on how to improve the stroke and make it as good as those guys.
@ speedo : Look at my first and second post and you should be able to find what my questions are. I am here to have some answers to those questions not to argue about the size of the pool I swim in. I hope you will give me some suggestions and will not start arguing with me about the pool size. THANX in advance...................................Not to worry- I'm not going to argue about the size of your pool or the size of anything else.
Maybe the reason that you're not getting much of a response is that folks don't know much about your goals- we don't know what you are trying to accomplish (other than looking like some fast swimmers and having similar DPS), and that will largely guide how you prepare for meeting that goal.
So was my assessment correct- are you trying to look good while swimming but not nessecarily go fast, or are you wanting to improve your speed as well? Here's a general response to your questions above:
1) I would practice the rotary arm stroke as much as possible. That said, if you are doing any significant yardage (we do not know what your training is like, btw) you will not be able to do it the whole time without your form falling apart. Do it as much as possible while maintaining proper form. Practicing anything without good form is pointless.
2) Kick as much as you can like you would while executing your goal, whatever that is.
I hope this helps.
