Well, I finally have a video of me swimming, unfortunately for me, its a video of me losing...but...maybe you all can tell me a thing or two about my swimming.
I am in lane three in the video--with a black cap.
Sorry for the quality and distance of the video it was my mom's first time haha, you can hear her yelling at me too.
Thanks!
First and most important what did your coach say about your swim? And congratulations on a nice swim. If any of my comments differ from what your coach is teaching, my apologies.
1) It looks like you are carrying your head a bit high, if you look at the elite swimmers today, the head position is lower during the stroke, breathing (you want your mouth out of the water not your eyes) and off the wall (check out Phelps’ head off the walls). This will help your streamline and get you swimming downhill.
2) It looks like you are stroking with your arms only, not much core.
3) It looks like you could extend a bit further on your reach, and work on the catch, EVF.
4) And it looks like you are finishing short on your stroke, especially the left arm.
Please don’t take these as criticisms of your swimming, just observations of a fellow swimmer.
