Hello. I have been reading the forum for a while but I haven’t posted until now. I have seen really good stroke analysis of videos in here, so I decided to post mine.
I haven’t improve my 200 IM time in over 1.5 years so I got filmed so I can see what exactly am I doing wrong. I would like to know what suggestions you guys could give me to work on my strokes.
Background:
I’m 21, I have been swimming for 3 years continuously (I used to run a lot so I’m well conditioned). I have been competing in masters in my country for 2.5 years.
I train alone because I have a very random schedule, my coach emails me the workouts every week. I go to the pool 4-6 days a week between and do 1400-2400 meters.
Here is the video:

My times from a push are:
50 fly: 36” high
50 back: 37
50 ***: 43
50 free: 31” low
I didn’t time my splits on this video, but I think I did a 2’ 42” …, My current best time is 2’ 37” ..
Here is a video of my 50 back LCM (maybe it helps with the feedback)

Re: the BR-I can't be sure without underwater view,but it looks like you are not getting into EVF but instead are doing more sculling than pulling.I think if you could focus on getting into EVF your stroke would have more power.Most swimmers tend to pull to far back on BR,but I think you could pull farther.
