www.youtube.com/watch for my all out 50 fly, well 95% it was still prelims after all.
any advice would be appreciated. thanks
Without getting into technique, I would say the number one thing to work on is streamline. Arms need to be tight on top of each other, head tucked between the shoulders.
Also your breakouts (transition period between underwater and surface swimming). Your head pops up every time which just kills what speed you had left out of the turns.
Turns are very slow, you need to work on snapping your shoulders and hips around. That is at least 1/4 second per turn that you can shave off.
Nice arms. Head position is a little high, also looks like your lifting your head a little to late, try to start to lift your head as your hands start to press down during your pull.
