Folks,
Can some of you kind souls help me understand how I can improve my freestyle technique please. Horrible kicking style and lousy streamline. Root cause and any drill suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Front Crawl Aug 2012 - YouTube
There are two segments. Upto 2 min breathing on my left most-comfortable side. After 2 min or so both side breathing which I have been forcing to do - not comfortable at all. There are couple of views in each segment - about a 45-60 sec or so.
Ths/V.
The scissor kick may be a counterbalancing reflex that happens when we try to rotate for a breath without engaging the entire torso.
I noted your shoulders rotating seperately from your waist, and at greater degree.
Watch the video of Karlyn that swimosaurus posted. Note how her entire torso, hips, legs and shoulders rotate as a solid unit like a vessle.
A wider catch might be used as a drill to help
