Recommend stroke analysis by The Athlete Village?

Hi Elaine, This is Marc Randell. I work for The Athlete Village. Yes, we will be on site at USMS nationals. We will be there for a few reasons. 1) To meet with USMS members, and answer any questions that you might have about our services. 2) To video races for USMS members that are interested in getting our full race analysis. 3) I am swimming the 100Fly and 100Free! A few things you should know about The Athlete Village. Every analysis is 100% guaranteed. What this means is if you do not love it and tell your friends to have their stroke analyzed, we refund your money. It's that easy. Our full race analysis product is $79.99. This is an analysis of your entire race including stroke technique, start, turns, stroke counts, what happens as you fatigue, etc... This product is almost always complete with only above water video. There are example that you can see on the site at www.theathletevillage.com We also offer individual stroke analysis. This product costs $49.99. This is where our elite coaches dive deep into your stroke. For this product, all of our customers submit above water video, and some of our customers submit underwater as well. You might want to spend some time on our website as well. www.theathletevillage.com. It is a great resource for swimmers, and has examples of what you will receive if you get your stroke or race analyzed. We bring incredible coaches and technology right to your computer. Be sure to stop by and say hello in Atlanta. All of you happy customers, be sure to reply to this thread! Marc The Athlete Village Hi Marc, thanks for replying! I checked out your website before I posted my thread and thought the analysis was interesting. I see how it can be very helpful. So, does the $79.99 including the videotaping at Nationals? I'm swimming 50, 100, and 200 breaststroke. Which event would you analyze? Does a DVD come with it or would I only be able to access my analysis on your website? Also, I have had to make significant changes to my stroke due to past surgeries/ injuries to keep me in this sport for the long haul. My outsweep, for example, is not an OUTsweep. It's more like an oval, keeping my forearms inside my elbows. And, my kick isn't as narrow as I know it should be for optimal speed. Will the coach work with my limitations and make suggestions as to how to make my stroke the most efficient and fastest, keeping my limitations in mind? I wouldn't want to receive an analysis full of comments like, "You need to make a wider outsweep!" or "Your knees are too wide!" I already know that... My goal is to get as fast as I can WITHIN my physical limitations. If I reach my maximum potential with my limitations and can't get any faster unless I alter my stroke significantly, then I will have to be satisfied with that, rather than risk another RSI (and surgery). I'll look forward to meeting you on Friday! :)
