ANALYSIS

Thank you again for trusting us. You were always listening to us when we shared our knowledge with you and that made things easy. You are able to change your technique really fast and that was good to see.

Butterfly

Time key frames:

Time

 

0:43 – 1:50

You need to more movement with your body not just to try to pull and kick, when the arms are in the front, chest and head down and hips up. 

Your hips look better on the last day, still you are missing putting your chest deeper.

0:49 – 1:40

The pull is like in freestyle but with both arms, you start a bit wide then you pull closer to your body towards your hips, looks better on the last day.

2:30

Your head should be entering the water before your arms, bring your head underwater, this will help you bring your chest deeper.

1:50

Remember the second kick and the pull should finished at the same time, this complicated because you are rushing the stroke and not doing all the steps.

Areas to work on, in general:

  • You did improve many things, but focus a lot and first in bringing your chest and head down and try keeping your arms close to the surface.
  • Make sure you are pulling forwards, not upwards

Time key frames:

Time

 

1:00

Good head position

1:13 – 3:15

You are pulling with your arms straight, this is very hard for your shoulder, remember you have to bend the elbow and push the water towards the other side of the pool.

It got a bit better the last day, but you can still bend it more.

3:17

When the hands enter the water let it go a bit deeper then start the pull, it will help you rotate moret too.

3:34

When you rotate to do the turn you can only do 1 freestyle stroke then do the flip turn, make sure you do a bicep curl to help you turn and to keep your arms above your head.

3:23

Do not bring your knees high too when kicking, bend them less. Remember what makes you move is the feet not the knees. 

Areas to work on, in general:

  • Do not cut the rotation, do the full rotation with both arms.

Other observations:

Breaststroke

Time key frames:

Time

 

0:26

You are doing the kick and the stroke at the same time, remember that it is the stroke first, then the kick.

0:27

You place the strength of the kick when you stretch your legs, but the force of the kick comes from the outside in.

0:39

You open your knees a lot and ankles not enough.

0:58 – 2:50

Your body position is much better, closer to the surface, throwing your arms to the front is better too, and narrowing your arms is good.

3:31

With the pull and using the strength of your lower back bring your upper body outside the surface so you can throw your arms and body stronger to the front.

Areas to work on, in general:

  • On the open turn make sure one hand goes outside of the water and the other underwater.
  • The pullout make it all underwater, push yourself more underwater do the pull out and slowly come closer to the surface.

Time key frames:

Time

 

0:32

Good and relaxed recovery

1:02

Finish stretching your arms out in front before starting to pull.

Looks a bit better the last day

1:41

Is better to do a last strong pull and stay gliding with your arms down then the turn, than trying to put one more stroke.

0:35

Bend your elbows to pull water, remember you should pull almost in a straight line.

0:35

Bend your elbows more when you pull so it is more towards the middle of your body than to the outside.

 

Areas to work on, in general:

  • Accelerate your pull, it will maximize your speed.
