  • You have a great smooth, flowing butterfly! You should ask your coach about your turn, it looks to me like you are twisting around, staying on your stomach the whole time, from above water the turn usually looks more like falling directly back from the wall and you push off the wall pretty much on your side instead of fully on your front. Ditto on the turn. Critique is regarding the second video (relay), since you were cruising on the first one. Maybe think of executing the turn more on your side and not trying to turn on your stomach. Also, seems you should try and get more underwater dolphin kicks off the wall and start, seems like your head is coming up too early. Swimming technique looks pretty good. :bouncing:
