Video technique review

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 2009_1102i0007.flv video by C6C6CH3vo - Photobucket

  • HI, I suddenly stopped dropping time in free 2 years ago and have been working hard trying to get back. I'm getting close, but perhaps there's something I'm doing wrong. Also started other strokes since then. Using 50M LC times, though I don't practice in such a course, it makes for a good comparison: 2010/06/05 - 30.87 (nearest lane) Despite armslap and early fatigue, this is still my best swim 2011/06/25 - 31.14 (had zero speed) 2012/06/02 - 30.93 (felt good the first half then made the mistake of looking forward twice) Here are some clips (the pool is turbid but it should work): fr rt frt side 0.125.wmv - YouTube (free) To me, my upper body seems OK but my feet are too deep. 6.6.12 kick.wmv - YouTube (kick) Seems too mechanical? fly - YouTube (fly) 6.6.12 bk.wmv - YouTube (back) 6.6.12 fr.bk fast.wmv - YouTube 25 free fast and 25 meters back (out of breath) Please don't hold back on the critisism Thank you:)
