HAPPY NEW YEAR, FORUMITES! :party2: :chug:
One of my goals for the new year (as it is for every year) is to improve all four of my strokes. I have posted videos on The Breaststroke Lane, The Backstroke Lane, and The Butterfly Lane, in hopes of receiving some feedback on those strokes. Please feel free to check those out and offer any constructive criticism you may have.
Here are three freestyle videos of my current stroke. I have been working to eliminate flaws that were previously pointed out: Head bounce on the non-breathing stroke, a lazy right hand exit at the end of the stroke, and splashy hands on entry. Whether I succeeded or not is open for discussion. And, in the process, I hope I didn't pick up any other bad habits! :afraid:

Thanks!
:agree:
5-7 bilateral breathing in a race is rarely done but there are plenty of cases where I have seen bilateral breathing. Usually it is in the form of 2 on one side 2 on the other. 1 on one side 1 or 2 on another side. Or a quick breath to the opposite side before the turn. Bilateral breathing does not have to be just every three strokes.
Sorry,I may have been a bit abrupt.I have heard too many "old school" coaches who wanted to "toughen" their swimmers with the 3,5,7 drill and I got a button pushed.Knowing how to breath bilaterally is certainly a valuable tool.
