Video technique review

This is what I did this morning: - 25M SDK from wall - 100M one-arm free (left) - 100M one-arm free (right) - 100M bilateral - 50M bilateral - 50M roll-over drill (stroke on sixth kick) - 50M bilateral - 50M boardless flutter-kick from wall - 500M with 2-beat (could not keep up bilateral breathing) - 50M boardless flutter-kick from wall - 100M with 2-beat - 25M without kicking, head under, concentating on hand entry position and catch - 25M bilateral at about 90% effort (about 4 breaths) - 25M head-up free (kayak) with 4-beat - 25M SDK This is a typical distance for my workouts, rarely over 1500M at a time. However, I'm just now starting to include kicking sets so I actually feel like I worked hard today. Nevertheless, I might get another swim in this evening. Another thing, the one-arm free really stressed my left shoulder supporting muscles. Not only did they burn, but they ached. This shoulder has been through hell (numerous full dislocations) and this might be a clue as to why my there's such unsymmetry to my style. I have learned to naturally protect this shoulder with whatever I do to prevent injury and I am wondering if my stroke style makes perfect sense for this. If this is the case I will have to cautiously see how much I can correct the stroke without placing the shoulder in a vulnerable position and keep it there. One thing I really fear for my first meet is starting from the block and having it dislocate in the first meter of a 50 then crawling out the pool to shock bystanders from the sight. I would hate to ask the referee if I can start off the wall:cane:. But on the other hand - there's nothing like living on the edge. Anyhow, I will get some more footage in a week or so to see if I improved ... and maybe edit the footage before posting this time.
