How much do you want to improve your swim technique and fitness? Did you know swimming front crawl is all about 70-80% technique!?
Here is a video analysis comparison (from 21st August 2018 to March 2019) of a client from lessons in the endless pool.
He achieved a 30 seconds improvement in pacing per 100 metres which is excellent progress !!! His swim pace for a half ironman triathlon was 1:44 per 100 metres with a time of 32:54!
August 2018. Before:
• Legs were very low and hips as well • His stroke rate was a bit slow • The timing was out of synch for your arms and breathing • His leg kick was in-efficient • He was lifting and rolling your head and shoulders too much to breathe, whilst not driving the rotation from your hips • There was also a cross over of your hand across the midline of your body in the catch and pull phases underwater on the right arm • His arms were windmilling and lacking better rhythm and timing • He had a straight arm catch and pull phase

Fast forward to March 2019:
• Much higher body position in the 2nd video • Improved and slower catch • Better purchase on the water • Holding the water throughout the stroke underwater with positive palm pitch • A higher and early vertical forearm position creating more distance per stroke • No cross over in the stroke underwater • Rotating from your hips and core on a long axis • Gliding more with a longer stroke • Better arms timing and breathing • Less drag and resistance improving streamlining
Well done you've really improved over the last few weeks, and in building your stamina up from January!
