Hello my fellow swimmers I really enjoy the forums and all the valuable information it provides for all kinds of swimmers. Thank you all for providing this resource. I just wanna know what suggestions you might have for me to improve my technique. I am not really a speed swimmer. Mostly prefer swimming for long distances and using it to relax and mediate about life. Any Tips or workout suggestions would be greatly appreciated. www.youtube.com/watch

    Hard to see exactly what is going on underwater, but your arms seem to cross in quite a bit, especially on the left. One drill I like to use a lot (I have a tendency to do the same thing), is to think of my hands trying to enter the water at the 11 and 1 position on a clock, rather than 12 o'clock. Also, with the fly, you may want to try to practice imitating the recovery through the force of the kick. It looks like your lower body is sinking some, putting the pressure on the pull. Working on throwing in a harder kick will make it easier. Thank you the 11 and 1 position suggestion it sounds really helpful. Also, i noticed that i drop also for the fly. Thanks for your help. Best Wishes.
