Hello, my daughter is 11 years old and she has been swimming for 3 years now.She prefers competing in breaststroke and her recent timing is as follows:
50m - 46.31 sec
100m - 1min 39 sec
200m - 2min 29 sec
A new coach came to our club 6 months ago and altered her technique, so she is now a little confused and hasn't since improved her times.
I am looking for some feedback on her stroke.So i am linking two clips of her racing the 200m and the 50m both in lane 8 (closer to the camera).
Any help is welcomed !!!

I was only able to see the 50 and it was pretty dark. The only thing I saw for sure is that she is recovering her legs by bending at the hips as well as the knees. This greatly increases drag. I think she is overlapping the pull and the kick by starting the pull before the kick is completed. This is common in sprints, but also increases drag. She may be recovering her hands pointing down a little instead of shooting straight forward. Again, I can't see it well enough to be sure
