good body position, very nice, flat. he's not breathing on the first stroke... has flippers on, which might be the reason for this powerful "first" kick. |

Yes, Sprinter is right...it is a very nice breakout (allthough a little bit high)...and maybe that is because of the flippers. What I have never understood about breakouts is why shouldn't the swimmer breathe in that first stroke. |

looks like a good job getting the face back own after taking the breath |
|
|
I noticed that he has his hands pointing backwards. I've heard to do that before. Does anyone know why? |

Nice! Love the head and body position, wrists heading forward

This guy is a LOSER. He needs fins to keep moving in butterfly. I honestly can't believe how high the first stroke is, BUT... in moving that fast, if it's any lower, I fear too much resistance pushing the head through. It wasn't a breathe, but the mouth is almost out of the water. Tomas, we don't breathe on the first stroke because you want to continue the bodyline in as forward motion as possible while you're still maintaining the speed from the pushoff and dolpins. If someone comes up this high without a breath, the danger is dropping the hips and scrubbing off much of that needed speed. It's especially important in butterfly as you're already climbing, and then an additional lift can really mess things up. Anyway, this guy ISN'T fast at sprint fly (again, hence the need of fins). It's me. |

haha, Glenn. Nice! :D If I were your coach you'd been in trouble because you would have to do extra work for swimming with fins. :p |

I like how relaxed your recovery is. I'll also add that I find swimmers who don't breath out of their starts and turns in fly are better able to set up their timing for the race. Question Glenn - it looks like [based on your recovery in regards to your kick] that you might be only doing one kick per arm cycle? Is this right? |

THAT'S YOU ! haha. where was that ?
