Hi DarkSpeedWorks, thanks a lot for your extensive feedback! Really appriciated. See below some follow-up questions and comments.Also, please do not take any of my suggestions without checking them. Don't believe what any coaches (including me) tell you, always check for yourself. There are 1000s of great videos on the web of extraordinarily fast swimmers that you can closely study and observe. If most of them are not doing what a coach suggests, then in all likelihood the coach is mistaken. However, when you do your research, there is a big and important caveat, don't study 6'7'' (2 meter) tall swimmers who are racing the 50m free. Instead, study swimmers similar in height to you that are doing distance freestyle racing, so the 800m, 1000m, 1500m, etc. And you can also study videos of ITU triathletes swimming 1500m in open water, those are excellent as well.

I always got taught when I just started that bilateral breading is the best. Maybe this differs for pool versus open water swimming?Quote:
this is very new to me. All my trainers all kept on pushing me to close my fingers as I always used to have them open. Is it most common to open your fingers or are you just from a different school?Quote:
More feedback would be much appriciated. On (1) do you mean something different than the last part of the first video? Thought that is already from the side above the water. For (2), see my start post, I have added another video from above. Also uploaded another video from the other side of the swim under water and front the front underwater just in case.Keep on swimming,
Greg
