Hi, I´ve been for some weeks recording myself cause i knew i had some issues which made me slow down. I have sorted them out except this wooden leg (right leg) which i dont know how to get rid of. Any tips are very appreciated. Thanks. I edited the video, slow motion, and pointed out the issue from different angles (480p for better quality): www.youtube.com/watch

    thank you all! I think you have nailed it, and you cannot imagine how great it might be, because i had been a long time trying to figure it out and no clue so far. I will try to go swimming tomorrow and keep my neck straight while breathing and check whether it is the cause of the wooden leg. Karl, for you it was also the breathing what caused your funny leg? if so, did you upload the vid so i can have a look, it is nice not feeling alone in the wooden legs world. Did you do any special drill to sort it out? As for the videos i learnt how to do this stuff by my own and it was precisely to improve my swimming techinique, as you can see in my youtube channel all the videos are about me swimming. One of them is me swimming breaststroke, so, Gobears, you can judge by yourself if i am a natural breaststroker, tell you the truth i dont know exactly what that means. Thank you Elainek you like my video, you can check them all, i have 8, but this one is my masterpiece, haha. I invite you all to have a look and point out any other mistakes you can see, cause i really want to shift me swimming to a new level: 1'15" in 100m event and 25' in 1500m event. Beards, it is not difficult, i did it with a software named Camtasia, the most difficult thing for me was the english, but for you supposdly native speakers it is not a problem. Sorry for my english mistakes. And once again, thank you very much for your help, i think that you solved the mistery. Steve, i havent tried fins set yet, but if finaly the problem is the breathing issue do you think fins might help?
