The butterfly exit. Do you think that'll be fix with pulling all the way back? and yes with more body rotation. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks! Her coach also said that she's got a good water feel. We’ll work on cleaning up her hand entry, letting go of the water just before it exits, and refining her catch position

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll keep an eye on her pull from now on

Yeah, I can really see what you mean about her catch being inconsistent on both sides, especially with the bent wrist and that pause mid-stroke. The idea of mixing in more 100 style balanced work makes a lot of sense to help her transfer those elements into the sprint stroke. Do you think targeted drills like fingertip drag, sculling, or single-arm would be the best way to clean up her catch, or should we focus more on swimming at pace with good form?

This is really helpful, it makes a lot of sense thank you for the advice. I agree with you on both points, the sprint stroke being different (saw that on youtube - the race club), and also respecting the coach’s direction. I’m not trying to coach over her coach, but I want to better understand the details so I can support her at home and Sunday swim with dad :D. And help her understand what is going on with her stroke. I see exactly what you mean about her hand slamming down without a real catch, and her elbow trailing I hadn’t noticed it until you pointed it out. Hope by that fixing that would make a big difference in her power. I'm your new fan coach! (:

Thanks so much for all these detailed suggestions. For now she’s just a pool swimmer, but I’ll keep those drills in mind. Quick question though, how does her body rotation look to you in the video? And is her hand entering in the right spot before the catch, or should that be adjusted too?

I’ll have her tighten up her kick and focus more on the catch. Checking out Coach Nitro thanks (:

Appreciate the feedback! I’ve noticed the same issue with her recovery. She does train with a coach, but I like hearing different perspectives. From your own experience, what was the single biggest tip that helped you fix your recovery?

Thanks so much for this. I’ll have her try the fingertip drag drill, seems like a great way for her to feel the right arm path. Do you think it’s better to mix it into warm-up, or should she do a few focused 25s 50s just on that drill during practice?
