18-feb-11 Comments added regarding kicking (great) and arms (very good but crossing centerline under the body). If you make no changes to your arm stroke at all (you have what we call a shoulder driven stroke) you will still be swimming better than most triathletes, but if you take the time to develop a front-quadrant or early vertical forearm catch and pull (which we call a hip driven stroke), that will be more efficient for distance swimming. The best swimmers use both types of stroke, sometimes in the same race (and actually there is third general type as well). PS Sory about the name on the clip. Will get that right next time.
