ANALYSIS

Butterfly

Time key frames:

Time

 

0:50 – 1:55

Keep practicing the dolphin movement, do not much too much your upper body, the movement it comes from your hips and core.

You can practice on your back, vertical kick, and the progression of butterfly with one arm

Areas to work on, in general:

  • I think we do not have much videos of your fly because your shoulder was hurting the last day, but we did practice the stroke.

 

Butterfly examples:

Backstroke

Time key frames:

1:13

When the hands enter the water let them go a bit deeper then start the pull, it will help grab more water and have a cleaner pull without many bubbles. It got a bit better the last day

You are pulling with your fingers too separated with your left hand, make sure you have them just a bit separated.

2:22

In the recovery when your arms are about to touch the surface you slow down, keep the same speed you have from the beginning, if you are sprinting then you can even accelerate the recovery.

3:48

Sometimes your hips are rotating a bit too much, try rotating less, just enough so it can help you rotate the arms and shoulders.

3:10

Your body position is quite good, just try to bring your feet closer when you kick, almost breaking the surface.

Areas to work on, in general:

  •

Other observations:

Breaststroke

Time key frames:

1:46

Do your stroke narrower, you keep pulling too long to the sides, when you arms pass the line of your shoulder they should be already almost touching your body. It got better the last day. 

3:30

You are doing your kick and your stroke at the sametime, it should be your stroke first then your kick, so when you begin throwing your hands to the front you should be starting your kick, and when you have them on the front you finish the kick (it will be the fastest part of your stroke)

3:24

When you finishing throwing your hands to the front bring your hips up closer to the surface, and put your head down.

3:43

It seems you are doing 2 movements when kicking, you stretch them then you bring them together, it should be one movement like a circle from the sides to the middle.

Areas to work on, in general:

  • Work on one thing at the time, start with the synchronization of your stroke, then move to the next point 🙂
  • Keep working on pushing from the wall deeper and doing the pull out.

Other observations: 

Freestyle

Time key frames:

Time

 

1:31 – 2:56

Here the first day you were rotating your right when gliding to the front, you corrected it but sometimes you still do it, keep practicing until it comes more natural.

2:44

Try to glide more with your arms and do not drop your arm, when your hand enters the surface, rotate and glide it as much as you can to the front.

It seems you are thinking too much about your stroke and how you pull, which is good sometimes, but you got to relax a bit more.

Your pull is too slow, when you finish gliding and you bend your elbow to start the pull, pull fast and strong.

1:16 – 2:42

Better push from the wall and dolphin kicks, keep practicing them.

3:08

Great flip turn! Just remember you push then you start rotating. Keep practicing as much as you can when you swim and it will be much easier to do them all the time

 

Areas to work on, in general:

  • Overall your freestyle is good. Be sure to practice sets like counting your strokes and reducing them so you start to have a stronger pull and grab more water.
