posture3
10-04-19. Pretty good except head held a little too high. Notice
the head position on the Natalie Coughlin clips. |
| Breathing |

breathing3
10-04-19. Good breathing in terms of the timing, but you are lifting
your head high instead of rotating just your face to the air. |
| Rotation |

rotation2
10-04-19. You are getting good rotation onto your right side,
but only minimal rotation onto your left side. |
| Arms |
2 |
Extension: arms2
10-04-19. Your hand is in a very good position when you reach
full extension. |
| Front Quadrant Timing: See
clip above - not enough glide, your are pulling your hand and elbow
back too early. Leave your hand extended to find quiet water (there
should be no bubbles on your hand when you begin your catch. |
| Catch: See
clip above - too late and deep. After your glide, pop your elbow toward
the surface and while strill driving the elbow forward, get your hand
and forearm under the elbow. |
| Pull: See
clip above - Because the catch is so late, the pull is too deep and
short. Your pull will become much more effective when it begins in
the front quadrant. |
| Recovery: See
clip above - You enter the water and get to full extension nicely. |

knee-bend. |
