I got a video of myself swimming today! woohoo!
I'd appreciate some comments. it was taken after a set so it wasn't the greatest lap but hey.. i'm not making excuses. i'd like some input. I've been swimming for 4 weeks now :woot:

Oh, i'd recommend scaling down the vid's resolution to see it a bit clearer.

ok, when i simulate the recovery standing/sitting vertically, i place my hand in front of my shoulder and lift the elbow up 90 degrees in a forward semi-circle motion. that's when i get pain in my forearm. when i place my hand on top of my shoulder and lift the elbow i don't have any pain, only when i place my hand facing somewhat forward and lift my elbow i'm getting this pain. i hope im making sense.
Regarding te body roll, i usually breath every 3 strokes, that video was taken after swimming for an hour and i was too tired to alternate breath/roll. but i do know what you're referring too. next time i'll take a vid with alternate breaths to examine my body rotation. you made an important comment about placing he hand in front of the body to prevent pain. from my description, could it be what i'm doing wrong? since i can't evaluate my recovery in the water i try to simulate it on dry land but i may be doing it wrong simulating the recovery vertically if i'm having pain in the process.
