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.

Stroke is too wide, he has limited rotation and does not really swim on the long axis. His right hand also cocks out to the side as he starts his catch.
BTW that was 36 seconds for the 50... and that stuff about heart rate is kinda deceiving. Is that 70 below max on land... Heart rate in water is generally lower. That and he only did a 50...
