Have you seen this video footage of Alun Woodward (4th out of water at Ironman UK this year) You can see how smooth the stroke is.

It’s good to watch good technique to help improve your own.
glad to see i am not the only one with an ankle flexibility issue

Whoa.
He really “grabs” the water. Also, there is that incredible ability to use his elbows well, keeping them high. Look how he grabs the water. Awesome.
That is a really cool video.
The turnover is freakin’ incredible. Weird kick.
So cool. Thanks for posting that.
Well that’s how I imagine I look when I swim, I know the reality is much worse. Thanks for posting. Since I’m a lousy swimmer I can’t get enough of these clips.
Yeh, that’s how I pictured myself in my head as well. I wouldn’t dare show the reality I was confronted with when we recorded my swimming as well!!!

I hope I look that good when I swim.
great video
check this out
I think this is some of the smoothest swimming I’ve ever seen
one of the reasons I like that video so much is that there is no hitch when he breathes. His hips and body position stay completely perfect when he breathes —now if I could only get myself to do that it would be huge. It’s so much harder than it looks.
