These endless swimming pools are quite nice, especially if combined with a front snorkel depicted on the second picture. This way you could practice a perfect freestyle swimming stroke without being distracted with flip turns or breathing. However, Let's get back to our front view free video.
I am not sure who this person is, but I'll point out a few obvious bad mistakes he is doing. First, play the video and then try to figure out yourself what he is he doing wrong and then click below to see the entire post to see if you correctly identify some of the freestyle stroke technique mistakes.
OK, here it is:
1.) Why is he looking at the camera? His eyes should be pointing toward the bottom of the pool and his neck should not have any wrinkles.
2.) Imagine a line going through his body which would split him in two halves (right and left). Now check out his hands and where they enter into the water. The hands should never reach over to the other half.
3.)From our view, the left hand is tilted with palm out. That shouldn't really happen. He could catch a lot more water if he would point his palm more toward the bottom.
4.) Stretch, stretch, stretch. Check out how on some of the strokes his elbow is still bend and he is already starting a movement through the water. He should reach forward as far as possible and role a little more to each side in order to achieve this. On the other hand, notice how he is keeping his head steady and only the sholders rotate.
5.) I'd also say that the hand on the left from our
view when in the water goes too far to the left when grabbing the water. He should concentrate to go more under his body with his arms. I am sure you can think of a few more things that are wrong with the video. Please don't be shy to share them with us on the comments section.
