I have checked this site for quite a while, it is a great resource for swimmers. The link is: http://www.swim.ee/index.html
They have recently added a lot of new video clips. These have recently been organised to show technique / coaching tips.
There are videos showing all 4 strokes and aspects of each: "high elbow", "kayak timing", "catch-up timing", entry, catch, pull etc and turns, starts & finishes.
The swimmers profiled are all world class such as Thorpe, Hackett, Lezak, Hoogie, Popov and more.
I have just watched a video clip showing Mark Foster, UK, swimming freestyle which is exquisite in it's detail. This is filmed in slow motion and shows a wealth of points of good technique.
So if you have a fast connection and lots of spare time you can learn a lot !

Gareth et al,
It obviously pays dividends to look at videos of other swimmers.But I would love to be able to see myself swimming on video so as to assess my style.How many people actually manage to get themselves videoed so that they can do this??And also how does one go about getting it done??
