I had my wife recorded my swimming last weekend by using digital camera. I found myself fish tailing quite a lot. I think I am in big trouble because I have got used to this wrong swimming feeling. If I can't find something wrong when I swim, how can I correct it?
Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thank you, George. Unfortunately the video I have right now is too big to send. I am not sure if I will be able to record another one recently. But if I do, I will sent it to you for help.
What I Need...
3x 10sec Mpeg video clips (~1MB in file size) from these angles…
1 - Front & Above (swimming straight down the line toward the camera)
2 - Side (walking with swimmer at 90 degrees)
3 - Angle (walking ahead of swimmer at 45 degrees)
Last week I had a swimmer at the pool who was fishtailing, I told him to make sure his big toes brushed each other while he was kicking, the fish tailing stopped. Simply corrected however it may not be just that easy. Try the easy thing first.
The other thing may be your stroke is crossing over.
If you can send a video of less than 10 sec to me I will give you a free analysis of the problem.
