ANALYSIS

Butterfly

Time key frames:

Time

 

0:50 – 1:55

Do not put bring your arms too deep when you have them in front of you, keep the arms closer to the surface but your head and chest does go deep.

0:59

When you do the breakout try being closer to the surface for the first stroke so you can carry the speed of the turn/underwaters, if you start the first stroke and you are too deep you will lose your speed.

2:23

Your arms should enter in the same line as your shoulder, right now your arms are touching when they enter the water.

1:58

Keep your knees closer when you kick, sometimes you separate them a bit too much.

Areas to work on, in general:

  • Focus first in bringing your chest and head down and keeping your arms close to the surface.

Breaststroke

Time key frames:

0:55 – 2:17

Throw your hands to the front not down, it depends a lot of the event, if you are swimming distances longer than 100 breast, then you can throw your hands a bit deeper to have a longer glide.

1:23

You open your knees too much try keeping them closer to each other, and open your ankles.

You improves the last day, but still you can have them closer.

    0:19

    Good and relaxed recovery

    1:43 – 2:01

    0:02

    When you finish pulling the bloc with your hands, bring them to a streamline faster, so when you enter the water your hands are in a tight streamline

    0:08 – 0:22 

    Good jump and bending of the back, just make sure to put your arms behind your head when you jump to get a cleaner entrance. You are bending your head backwards too much.
