I've just get myself recorded for open water swimming - please tell me how bad I am. I'm targeting 5 km open water swimming competitions now. https://youtu.be/tOJAdVtMzL8 https://youtu.be/VvF1ShVZ4OA https://youtu.be/jV-MuOeTduA

  • If your goggles are giving you issues in terms of difficulty seeing when you are sighting, you can also try out some anti-fog solutions. These are my favorites: www.swimspire.com/.../ In terms of your scissor kick tendency, I have taken a screenshot so you can see it here more clearly. 11870 Whether you are sighting or not, an exaggerated scissor kick like yours causes you to lose momentum, essentially like putting on the brakes in the middle of your swim. You can practice the Tarzan drill (also called Head Up or Polo drill) to work on maintaining a continuous, narrow kick even while you are sighting. Good luck!
