  • Some observations: 1) Looks like your body is very rigid throughout the whole swim. 2) Your lower back looks very rigid, seems like it should flex/bend more easily. 3) Arm recovery looks stiff as well, and it seems that they are coming out of the water way too high. If you can lower the arms to just barely clear the surface it should result in less energy being spent. 4) Undulation looks a bit excessive, if you can flatten your body dolphin out more (think of sending your body forward, not up and down), that should help smooth out your stroke. Looks like you've got the timing down fairly well, and this seems to be the biggest sticking point for butterfly. My overall summary might be to say your swim should look "more relaxed," it should look more fluid. Faster posters will probably offer up a better analysis. Good luck. :banana:
