I used to compete until I was 15. Now after 44 years I am thinking of training again. I know swimming technique has evolved tremendously and will appreciate any help I can get to improve my stroke. The video was taken recently and is located at YouTube - Swim RFBG 01 Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the valuable input. I see what you guys mean regarding the recovery and will give the drills a try. Back in the 60's we were told we needed to "finish our stroke" all the way to mid thigh. Now some do almost that like Schoeman while others exit much more promptly. I guess it's a question of trying the various possibilities and let the stop watch be the judge.
