Is there an area of your front crawl that you want to work on the most?
We can show you real time pace improvements in the endless pool by focusing on stroke corrections and technique refinement - showing difference in pace per 100 metres.
For example:
Client A : Started at 2:00 mins per 100m
Improvements with each technique drill using video analysis and slow motion playback:
-
Gliding for 1 second on entry = 1:50 / 100m
-
Focusing on your timing ie 3/4 catch up = 1:45 / 100m
-
Bodyroll 45 degrees = 1:40 / 100m pace
-
Early vertical forearm & Reaching over a barrel drills = 1:31 / 100m pace

In the video on the right, you can see the difference in power, stroke technique, maintaining form style and body position without fatiguing on the left.
Martin is a good swimmer at 23 mins for 1500m, whilst Hadyn in this video was swimming 16 mins for 1500.
Although you can see the differences quite apparently, what's the most significant?

10 Lessons in 5 Weeks - 2 per week
You'll learn how to improve your breathing, reduce drag, kick more efficiently and use less energy to go faster and further on each stroke. Your body should be high and flat in the water and streamlined, ie having low drag and resistance in the water. This is because water is 1000% times denser than air.
In the left hand video you can see the swimmer is crossing over the mid-line of their body in the catch and pull phases. This will be causing a snaking action in the body and a scissor kick motion with the legs, as these extra movements try to counter the initial cross over.
As Newtons 3rd law states: "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"
This is very true here. You can see the body trying to counter the motion from crossing over under the chest.
Long doggie paddle as performed on the right hand view is one drill which can help to correct this cross over in the catch and pull phases of front crawl.
