Subject: RE: Swim critique (video included) Pretty dang good for no formal instruction. Good body position, pretty good rotation from side to side. The kick will do fine for now (try to be cognizant of how far apart your legs are when you kick when you rotate, though. You might try swimming several lengths of each workout only thinking about "how far are my legs apart as I kick now while I'm turned to the side?" But I wouldn't work on your kick (for now) any more than that. I encourage everyone who posts a swim vid to look at it frame by frame. You will self-identify many things to work on. Then ask us re. what some ways are regarding HOW to work on them As for your pull, you have a really nice bent arm--but it looks like you're trying to sweep something off your stomach down towards your feet. Try visualising and actually keeping your fingers pointed toward the bottom of the pool, and your elbow pointed to the ceiling, throughout the pull. Those are the main starter things ... better to tackle one thing at a time. And welcome to BT! |
