Per my reference in the "Mystery of Breaststroke" forum (forums.usms.org/showpost.php,
Who has seen themselves swim? Who regularly uses a videocamera? Do you use for meets or practice or both? Who critiques - yourself, coach, teammates, no-one?:groovy:

Lindsay - hard to see a lot from that angle, but to me it looks like you want to lengthen and straighten your line a bit, there are some unwanted bends through your torso. It looks like maybe you flex your left foot slighty at one point during the kicking phase?, but that could just be the camera angle. Also a bit more core rotation would be good and yeah, focus on streamlining more off the wall, get under the wake coming in as you push off the wall...the deep water is the fast water
