1502 Katy, Texas | Subject: Swim Critique Video I took some shots at various angles during my swim this morning. I had never previously seen myself swimming so it was a bit eye opening. It looks like my form is a bit.....squirmy? Anyway, I'd love any input you could give. Both arms do pretty different things and I'm not sure which is right. All the shots were during sets of 200's and 100's to make sure I was fatigued and got a good representation of my stroke. The speeds range from1:10 to 1:30 per 100 meters. Thanks in advance for any input/advice!! http://youtu.be/yubBFeI1WyU |

If it looks good fresh, then improvement is often a matter of training right near your "focus threshold" or that theshold of effort where form just begins to break down. Once you go past that point, you're reinforcing muscles that are executing incorrect patterns. It's better to see if you have the correct patterns to begin with, then work on finding out what causes sthe breakdown |

I made sure it was during my sets so you could see the real stroke I use and not just a 50 meter swim right off the bat where it wouldn't be a fair representation of my "working" stroke. |

201 Hereford, England | Subject: RE: Swim Critique Video I don't know if I'm right about this, Adventurebear is probably better at saying if this is true or not as it's a bit based on TI swimming. I've been doing a few TI elements in my swimming and reduced my 100m reps by about 6-10s. You said about being squirmy... I've been working on when front arm having a longer reach, all the power has come from the hip. Is thrusting your arm forward out of time with twisting your hip? Again, I may be off. Just might be worth a thought? |

Just might be worth a thought? It could be, I'm not sure. I think it may have to do with the fact that I don't use my legs much. |
