Looks like a swimmer making progress to me. It is a big kick and long glide but that is a big improvement. As the kick tightens up and the streamlining improves and the stroke rate comes up a bit I...

I'm not an expert coach but it seems you are kicking with both legs at once in a scissor kick. Try just kicking with just one leg and make sure it is the leg opposite the spearing arm. Just my 2...

It is pretty funny that tech suits were banned to keep competition more "fair" but the discrepancies in training budgets far outstrip any advantage in the pool.

I'm sure world record holders strive to improve every practice and every stroke and at this point sun is probably his own best coach and probably his own harshest critic too. The thought of sun...

I agree. Watching motion is very useful. I wonder how much any coach can change the stroke of a swimmer like sun at this point. Or if they would want too. Perhaps little details on streamlining? His...

I meant to add that when people are critical of "glide" I like to remind them of the rule "primum non nocere" ("first, do no harm")
When you are moving forward nicely why rush and upset what you...

The problem with looking at swimming frame by frame is that it is meaningless. Sun looks slow with little propulsion and lots of drag in still frames but we know that is not the case. He is fast,...

Yeah I should have described the "biomechanical advantage" as a "biomechanical difference" but I just stuck with the original wording. I don't think that it really matters in the water, at least...

For me there is a biomechanical advantage to spear elbow down because I get a few inches more reach. This may not actually move the effective catch any further forward but I can reach further if I...

That's a very effective way to visualize it. My only concern is that for some it would be too much internal rotation. In effect if your elbow points to the side you would spear the water thumb down...
