Would like comments on Fly & ***

Just swam a short course meet this past weekend. I'm providing a couple of links to my 50 fly and 50 ***. If you can make anything out, I'd appreciate any critical feedback on either of them. I think my fly is still a little too "wavy." Don't know what to think about breaststroke as I'm still learning it. I swam the fly in :24.80 and the *** in :33.53 (these are yds). I'm the one in the yellow "smiley face" cap. 50yd fly www.youtube.com/watch 50yd *** www.youtube.com/watch I also swam 100yd free, 100yd fly, and 50 free, but don't want to share any of those as I had goggle problems on all three. Thanks in advance. :bliss::bouncing::banana:

  • Re: yor BR,you snuck one past the turn judge.As well as the 2 dolphin kicks you have almost completed your 2nd pull before your head breaks the surface on both your start and turn.You must break the surface before your insweep begins. Pulling too far back is messing up your entire stroke.It gets you caught with your hands together before the recovery giving your stroke a"start ,stop" action.A good drill for you is the "lane line" drill.Lean over a lane line so it is under each armpit,then do BR pull.That way your hands can't come back too far.
