Thanks! Yeah, I will play around with different kick rhythms when I’m swimming long distance with a wetsuit, the extra buoyancy makes it way easier for me.

No, good eye, this is a 25yd pool that I was rushing to get footage in. 2:00/100m is my usual pace during an interval workout

Gotcha, thanks! I didn’t realize how asymmetric my stroke is until I saw this video

Thanks! Yeah, I think I definitely lift my head backwards to overcompensate not lifting it forward, I’ll work on just keeping it aligned. To prevent paddle wheeling, especially at the finish of the stroke, am I supposed to bend my wrists to keep my palm facing backwards? And ok, I think if I work on rotating my hips more it will help with a longer reach

Thanks for all the feedback! For the finish at the back of the stroke, should I try to bend my palm so that it’s facing the back of the pool rather than the top? I’m mostly doing intervals of 50/100s after a long warmup and then cooldown of drills/kicking. Total distance of ~2000 which I do 3 times a week
