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,
Thanks for your help in giving me the contact name at Barnet Copthall for the videoing.As I have now left the Masters club at Beckenham I am starting to try and devise some meaningful drills and training for myself,mostly based on Cecil Colwyn's books.I feel that just by seeing myself on video when I swim will help me see where I need to concentrate my efforts.I am going to be in Sheffield on Saturday afternoon(at a football match) and I am seroiusly thinking of maybe hanging around Saturday night/Sunday to see the Masters event.If I can't get there to cheer you on then I will wish you good luck now for the 1500 metres.
Good Luck,
Mark
