The Race Club posted an excellent video on their youtube channel today about the benefits of different freestyle techniques that deserves a lot more views:

One of my top 10 videos. Explained very well. It's a great video to show all your swimmers. Mirror image swimming (when one arm is traveling through the power phase, the other is recovering) is shown in each technique. It's nice to see the ankle flexibility (even if your kick isn't fast it's critical). Dragging a flat foot is a real drag ( really). Nice job coach!
