RE: My swimming - any advice ?
A TI swimmer. Outstanding. I like what I see for the most part, relaxed, head fairly relaxed, patient hands for the most part. There are a couple of comments. It appears that your hands are a bit stiff. If you relax them more you might like the results better. The other is I noticed your left hand when you spear into the water turns up rather than spears to a position where your elbow is lower than your shoulder and wrist lower than your elbow. That will slow you down by creating unwanted drag by pointing up. Lastly, It appears that at times your hands and arms may be drifting down while the other hand and arm are recovering(It is hard to see as teh underwater was only very brief). Again, you increase drag some. A nice relaxed kick, have you thought about going to a 2 beat kick? Keep up the good work.
