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

Honestly, the only real things changed are less catch-up movements, and keeping my recovery arm tighter. It feels more natural, does not bother my shoulders, and they're less fatigued. The recent footage to me shows there's still work to do though. Good because although the rate of execution on the last footage is lower than that of the first few clips, you managed to integrate this crucial element I was referring to as being immediate progressive unloaded catch.
This is wonderful. Now when you accelerate the rate, try to keep your catch progressive and unloaded and increase the acceleration of the hand to pull the water backward in an explosive way and you should normally see some short term improvement in your swim speed. If not report back.
Congratulations
