Observations |

Posture
|
5 |
Your posture
is very strong. At maximum rotation to your right side, I've drawn
a line parallel to the surface. If I play the clip forward one frame
at a time to maximum rotation on the other side, I can see that you''ve
maintained a strong head-chest-hips connection as you move forward
and rotate over that line. |
Breathing
|
4 |
Very good
breathing - but once in a while your head lifts a bit too high, and
that disrupts your excellent posture. You will need to guard against
doing this after sighting in open water (get your head right back
down into the trough of your bow wave to breathe). |
Rotation
|
5 |
Excellent
rotation - see posture notes above and the head-on underwater view. |
Arms

Extension: Excellent
- you are reaching full extension with your arm extended at shoulder
depth. |
| Catch: Elbow
drops slightly during the catch. If you can leave your elbow closer
to the as you begin your catch, you can get a slightly longer pull. |
| Pull: Good
long pull. By getting your catch closer to the surface, it could be
a bitl longer. |
| Recovery: Very
good high-elbow, straight-ahead recovery with arm entering fingers
first and very cleanly. This is great open water recovery technique. |
Kick
