swimming freestyle with one arm

SolarEnergy, your waltz drill is SHEER xxxxxx! It's funny, someone made the same comment on the other site. I'm flattered by I'm not sure I understand though... Would you happen to be based in UK as well? This gentleman here who just learned this drill progression inspired me to record this clip. His execution (both 0-Arm and 1-Arm) is very decent. But it still lacks this smooth rotation aspect, uninterrupted and smooth. Some like to refer to this as inside out swimming. Body rotation is something that must work standalone. Then every limb is timed around this smooth but powerful body action. On the following clips, you see three things. During the 0-Arm, body rotation amplitude isn't sufficient to bring the head in perfect breathing position. Therefore the subject has to twist the neck to breathe (NO-NO). Body rotation should be good enough so that you don't even need to turn your head to breathe. On the second clip, the rotation is interrupted. I believe that this is partly due to the fact that he's wasting great deal of time seeking for decent breathing position. It creates a dead spot in the front, which is bad. One purpose of 1-Arm drill is to learn to better catch the water, by first eliminating the dead spot. And finally, the subject overkicks. There are far more than 3 beat per rotation (6 beat per full cycle). Now you better understand where the 0-Arm swim waltz comes from. YouTube- 0-arm swim.MOD and YouTube- Single left arm.MOD
