Swimming

Hi,

a friend of mine and me made some new videos of my swimming.

The first shows me while swimming butterfly:


The second shows me crawl:


If you like you can find more videos over there:


If you have any suggestions on how to do better, I would be very happy.
Or maybe you find my videos useful for your own practice.

Hi Patrick. I watched the butterfly. Fun stuff.

I would say your arms are a bit late on the pull (You did say you
would accept advice

You get your head back in the water and your hips up pretty nicely
after the pull. But then as your head and shoulders pulse back to the
surface, you haven't started your arm pull. If you start your arm
pull much earlier, then the energy of that body dolphin bringing the
front of your body back to the surface will help your pull. It will
give the stroke more rhythm and your arms won't tire as fast.

Or you can do what I do - avoid Tuesdays and Thursdays when they swim
stroke.

On the butterfly, it looks good, but you should probably work on your
flexibility, as it looks like you're having trouble getting your arms
out of the water while maintaining a good body position. This will
get really tiring after only a few laps. I think that if you work on
flexibility, and keep swimming some fly in your workouts, that you'll
improve very rapidly as you have the basic mechanics down.

To my very amateurish eye, the butterfly looks like a lot of up and down
head motion and flat hips. I'm more comfortable doing the opposite,
initiating movement from the chest, which continutes through to the
hips, but leaving my head and even my shoulders alone. I'll try to dig
up the little video I made of this.
