Hi ! I'm a bad swimmer looking for help.. Around 25-26min on olys, 1:07 in my first and only IM, 10x100 1:50 leave interval swam in around 1:35. I've got better skills cycling and running, so my swim will be my main focus next season. I swim 2-3 times per xweek, between 2-4km each, alone this year but in a master group last few years (swimming since 5 years)...
I don't improve really much those last years, so I suppose I have very bad habits I have to break.
I did the videos tethered, hope It will be relevant. It looks like my right arm is overeaching, I'm also like "catching up" ?
Thanks a lot

I saw a lot to 'fix' but I'm going to defer to the faster/better swimmers here mainly because - 25-26 min in all the 'fair swim' (noncurrent) Olys I've done here in Norcal would be the top 5-10% of the field, so calling that slow is kinda nuts. Also, on the video, is that your 1:35 pace? It's hard to tell due to the tether, but if I'd imagined you without a tether, I would have guessed that to be 1:50pace or slower. Again, per your given race times you're faster than me, so don't shoot the messenger!
