What do you think of this guy's freestyle? I found it looking for advice on the proper freestyle stroke.
The stroke looks relaxed. I am not sure about the wide angle of his arms on the entry and extension.

I would find it hard to find anything good about his stroke.
The problem is that he does not enter his hands properly. Yes they are too wide the hands are flexed out and it looks like he is pushing against the water with the back of his hands. I think I can tell that he learned his technique from a DVD that I would not ever buy.
The Endles pool is a hard to swim in item you have to bury your head very deep in order to keep your legs up. He also ran the pool in a very slow position this made it awkward to get into the proper position.
In the Endless pool it seem he finished above his waist line, I would sooner he finish a little lower
Just don't try to copy what you see he may not swim like this video shows. However he may be a great teacher?
