50 FR vid for comments.

head position looks ok to me but you breathe by moving your head and therefore twisting your body too much. Also when looking at you swimming away from the camera it looks like you are not holding your body in a straight line but rather tossing your behind from side to side following your arm movements question: how fast did you try to go here...1 being really slow and 10 as fast as you can? I think you need to focus on EVF (Early Vertical Forearm). Got a great clip of Grant Hacket here: www.youtube.com/watch Look how he very early bends his lower arm, places it perpendicular to the motion direction and then pulls...fast. You don´t do that. You sink your arm until it is somewhere below your body where you probably get a nice grip of the water and then pulls...slowly. That means that you loose a lot of potential water to move and you move it slowly on top of that => less speed forward for you. But then again, I dont know how fast you intended to go in this vid. Look at this clip of Eamon Sullivan..especially in the sequence between 3.02-3.13 mins. EVF and VERY fast pull. www.youtube.com/watch Simple, just try to replicate what these guys do and you will improve your speed significantly. ;) my :2cents: /Per
