My training partner and I stuck my water proof camera on a mini tripod and video taped 200 IM's head-on; that was the start of our stroke analysis adventures which has more or less directed what drills we focus on, and to a certain degree how we train.
But, I'm curious how many other folks to this, and if they've seen real results in the form of faster swims or less injury.
I have found it extremely helpful.I don't do it as often as I should,but every time is useful.If you compete it is especially good to get videos at the meet.In practice you will probably be more mindful for the camera than at a meet.For workout videos,I had a coach tell me they were best done tired so that your flaws are more likely to come out.
