hey everyone, i use to be on here about 4-5 months back and well here i am again. I had a buddy of mine record some videos of me underwater (they're pretty short) and i was hoping to get some feedback on my technique, and perhaps even some ideas for a coarse of training? anything and everything will be appreciated, thanks!
there are 3 videos, 2 are regular and one of them is a sprint

Elbows are dropping. Imagine wrapping your extended arm outward over a big barrel. As it begins to travel under your torso...throw the barrel and the water back. High elbow is a key ingredient of early vertical forearm. That what you want to strive for.
And what George said about the head position...keep you head in neutral and look down at the black line. After you find the right horizontal line, then work on having the eyes looking slightly ahead.
Old School
* Head sticking out of the water a bit at the top.
* Eyes looking forward at an angle to the vertical.
* Neck muscles engaged to carry the head's weight.
* Spine line curved in an ‘S-shape'.
* Core muscles not engaged
New School
* Head ‘totally immersed' in the water but ‘only just'.
* Eyes looking straight down.
* Neck muscles relaxed with minimal ‘tone'.
* Spine line as straight as is comfortable.
* Core muscles engaged
