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
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?
I have no YouTube vid, but here is a still where it can be seen.

I believe it is related to a similar breathing issue, yes. I think that I have largely fixed the breathing issue, (no video proof of that yet) and the foot issue is now much less prononuced, but it still needs work. To fix it, I've mostly been focusing on head position and toe point. One drill I have done a lot is to start out flutter kicking with no board, then add the arm stroke but only for timing. I try to generate very little propulsion with the arms. It's basically a kicking drill, with arms added for timing and body position. I try to maintain a steady even kick when I add the arms. These are exhausting, but I think are helping a lot. I tried fins but got blisters and nearly lost a toenail. I'm looking for fins that are more compatile with my feet.
