Picked up one of those cheap gopro knockoffs off Amazon and it finally came in today. I went to the pool right after work to witness this highly ineffective stroke. Two gigantic things stick out to me: 1.) scissor kicking is destroying any momentum and 2.) I lack any semblance of an EVF.
What else do you guys see? What drills should I really focus on in addition to upping my volume a lot?
To put it into perspective, in an oly, my breakdown is 30/sub-60/40, so my swim is a massive limiter.
EDIT:
New Video:
I *tried* to work on some things that were suggested. The easiest adjustment was the head position. I instantly saw a difference in my balance and it was infinitely easier to breathe and I made a sub-1:20 100scy interval for the first time in my set of 10.
However, my low stroke rate is still a big issue that is obviously going to take some time to fix. This is especially evident in the footage of me swimming with a band. My whole lower body is fishtailing from side to side and I can't, despite really trying to focusing, increase my stroke rate. What is going on in that footage? Does that drill specifically highlight a weakness that's that's present in my regular stroke?
