Hi guys,
I'm an adult-onset swimmer that started swimming late last year. I'm self-coached and have been working on my technique through a combination of Youtube videos, reading Slowtwitch and the odd article here and there. I swam 2:00/100 at my first triathlon (St. George 70.3) last month, although my watch said I swam 1:45/100, so clearly I have some open water skills to work on!
At this stage, I'm mainly focused on improving my technique (and thus hopefully speed) ahead of IMLP next month and was hoping to get some help from the experienced swimmers here. I had this video taken during a session last night, which I think is pretty representative of my current stroke.
Would be great to get your thoughts on the big-ticket items that I can improve on to improve my stroke and speed. Thanks in advance for any help - it is very much appreciated!
