Last week, Desmond and myself went to the pool to do some videoing of our swimming. Previously, we were able to take only above water shots of ourselves and rely on each other to point out our errors underwater. For a long time, I have been wanting to see how I swim and this is finally made possible due to the purchase of the Olmympus 850SW camera.
I was just too fast for des! He could only catch my legs the first half of the swim.
Well, kicking is weak. Although this is just relaxed swimming, and I am kicking just for balance, but it will be good to work on getting some power into those kicks!
Butt position is a bit low. I should be aiming to swim "flat" on the surface to minimize drag. There is body rotation from side to side which is good as power is generated from the core and lats are activated. Need to work on getting the "catch" right, cannot see high elbows at all
Caiught a bit of my left arm going too wide here. My right arm seems to pull straight down and crosses midline of body.
Yes, the midline crossing by the right arm is very obvious. What is my hand doing??

This is how it should look like!

"...because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
-Romans 5:3-5
-Romans 5:3-5
"The only limits we have are the ones we give ourselves"
"So we can suffer, and in suffering we know who we are."
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!!!"
"When a man says 'I cannot', he has made a suggestion to himself. He has weakened his power of accomplishing that which otherwise would have been accomplished."
"I realize many eyes are on me to see how I handle my situation and overcome. If I don’t give up, other people who may be tempted to give up won’t. They will have to keep trying because I am living proof of unwillingness to give up."
"Unless you test yourself, you stagnate. Unless you try to go way beyond what you've been able to do before, you won't develop and grow. When you go for it 100%, when you don't have the fear of "what if I fail," that's when you learn. That's when you're really living."
"Live your life so that when you wake up in the morning, Satan says, 'sh!t, he's awake'".
"Success or failure on race day isn't a function of one single ride or run. It's the result of the steady accomplishment of consistency, week after week, where everything fits together and lets you get done, week after week."
"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment."
"Clarity of purpose comes when you are pursuing the highest expression of your talents, are motivated primarily by the love of your activity, and live a lifestyle congruent with your stated purpose. When you have clarity of purpose, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals and you will love every minute of it."
