Wow.

This troubling video is unfortunately a perfect example of bad and essentially useless coaching.

But I do want to give her some credit, the coach appears to be earnest and sincere, she swims well too, and the video production values are decent.

However, the problem is that she says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about EXACTLY HOW a swimmer can easily and rapidly correct this very very common stroke flaw. Related to this, she also says nothing about why this stroke flaw happens. Understanding why this error happens can really help a swimmer fix the problem, and it is an easy error to both explain and to understand. But my guess is that this coach has no idea why it happens.

And then her 'total immersion' anecdote of swimming like you are "hugging a tree" just does not cut it.
