Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today.
My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet

Try experimenting with Thorpe's catch position and your catch position and see for yourself which is more powerful. -mjmYes, this is one of the things I've been trying to change. It's not as easy easy as it sounds or thorpe makes it look, especially after swimming incorrectly for 1.5 years.
But on the same thorpe reel I noticed Gustavo's technique and his left arm.
