Video Session

Notes

Click here for instructions on how to use the video player. Use the Turn Comments On or Off buttons for voice-over comments. Note that you can play the clips one frame at a time or in slow motion using the player control buttons. Play the clips with and without comments, and then see the Drill Clips and Stills pages (above) for suggestions on how to deal with the issues mentioned.

18-feb-11 Added two sets of comments: 1) kicking (not bad, but unusual) and 2) arms and breathing - you are pressing one arm very deep into the water (while breathing), and pulling underneath your body with the other - neither of these movements is very effective. Both problems can be corrected by changing your arm stroke timing: just leave your extended arm out front until the other arm passes your head in the water. Focus on having your hands pass each other in the water out in front of your head.
