Video technique review

Fixed most of it. Thanks for the help. Bilateral: http://youtu.be/BnQPJ50SJus BL every 2: BL R BL - YouTube BR every 2: http://youtu.be/DpRSlQm55Rc Do 25M then breath afterwards: http://youtu.be/wmLk7Mg2Z04 Will work on it some more and see in about 6 weeks for my next meet:) You breath to the right better than to the left. When racing breath just to the right. When you are not breathing, your head should be still, looking straight down. If you watch your bilateral video you can see that you head is rotating with your body some on non-breath strokes. But you are right, that is much better body position. That was quick work. Notice your right hand drifts outward as you rotate to your left. The entry position looks good, but you don't really want the hand drifting wide, so as you rotate, try letting your body press your arm deeper instead of wider. This will keep you in a tighter streamline while setting your hand position up for an earlier catch (your shoulder and elbow will rise up as you rotate on the right and initiate your pull, but your hand will be left in a lower position allowing an earlier catch). If your hand is drifting wide to allow for a comfortable catch position because of your shoulder, discard the above advice. Your turn over is much slower than the initial videos you posted, so I would guess that your stroke has improved but the slow down in turn over was not offset by the increased distance per stroke. Work on technique and speed at the same time by doing 12.5yd sprints with lots of rest early in your workout. Also related to your turnover, your kick was too big with your foot coming out of the water quiet a bit. Decrease the amplitude of your kick, which should allow for a faster tempo. Work on this faster tempo kick with your faster turnover on the 12.5s.
