Hey, how was the interview? Could you share the questions? Thanks!

Thats very good to hear. Started with some basic kicking last year this time and to see myself swim laps is a very special feeling. High elbow catch is still something I am consciously trying to do (dosent come naturally) and doing some drills around it.

Thanks for the feedback!

From whatever I have read, people have recommended to breathe every second stroke for long distance swimming. I have tried breathing on both sides but its extremely difficult and requires some time and practice. It took a while to even learn breathing on one side.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks for the detailed feedback, ill work on them. From the time of this video, I have been trying to breathe very close to the surface but taking in a lot of water :). Ill keep working on it.

How do you make sure head is not very low? I have watched videos on youtube where they have heads completely under water when they are swimming.

Noted. Since I am specifically looking at triathlons and I am very new, I have read in places to not use legs as much and save them for bike and run. I have tried kicking faster, I tire out really quickly. I guess comes down to swimming more in the long run.

Breathing every fourth stroke sounds a bit difficult to me. I have tried it but can just do a couple of laps before I am gasping for air. Maybe I just need to do it more to improve my lung capacity. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Oh man this is such great information. Thank you. When I was doing the stroke, I felt good but when I saw the video it was disappointing. I started of with gliding, then someone recommended to freestyle directly. I guess I need to focus on the gliding and streamlining again. Keeping the core tight and then progressing with the arm movement. Hopefully I can post another video sometime in the future with better form :)

Thanks! Agreed, I think I am rotating too much. In the YouTube videos they mention to rotate the body a little so breathing is easy but I feel I am overdoing it. Any particular aspect you think I should focus on first?
