Although I don't know who the swimmer is (not clear enough for facial recognition), it is likely an older video for a couple of reasons. The swimmer is using the original grab start stance with both feet at the front of the block - not many swimmers use this anymore for a variety of reasons. The other reason is that he is swimming front quadrant freestyle, but does not really focus on the high elbow catch as much as the current preferred technique.

Good Luck!

I have seen the Amercian red cross freestyle lessons on the internet,the freestyle is the one i have seen the most beautiful in the world.someone told me the freestyle is TI,
but i only got the infomation that the vedio on the net is about "Amercian red cross",
i have searched many times but failed.
I want to know:
what is the name of the swimmer? is he the coach of American red cross? or the famous athelets in USA?.
his freestyld is more beautiful than PHELPS. so i really want to know some infomation about this swimmer,and about American red cross.

For that same reason I avoid pools like the plague. Hope you topped up the tan nicely! In the UK it would be rust.

Thanks GW. I like the idea of keeping a diary. My goal is to provide a rewarding experience for the swimmers and get them excited about future swimming. We just found out we have to adjust our practice schedule and our older and/or advanced swimmers will be practicing from 8-9 pm, a couple weeks 8:30-9:30 pm. Being a mom of an 8 yr old, the late practice concerns me. I am looking for advice to pass along to the parents, such as nutrition, so the swimmers can keep their energy levels up. I may be over thinking it...kids plus summer usually equals an energy surplus.

Have fun and enjoy the experience. If you are enjoying things the kids will almost certainly do so too. As Jeff said, keep a diary. Note which things worked and which things maybe not so much. If possible have a note about why that might have been. Also, if it's not working, even during a session, don't be afraid to change it up. Good luck
