Thanks Al.
It's a common issue using ergometers to see the asymmetry. I used one 25 years ago with Doc Councilman and we learned then to maintain a neutral position. AND make sure athletes are using the device properly at all times. Too many athlete's get too caught up in the "numbers" and not the form. It's not for strength so much as for improving technique under the resistance of the trainer.

Thank you. All the best.

Marc, thank you for providing some feedback. I (as the coach in the video) really appreciate it, especially coming from you.(Your books have been a great resource for me over the years!) Your point about the head lifting to create an "asymmetrical reaction" is interesting - I hadn't previously made a point to connect those two as having a direct causal relationship. Your points ARE well taken - I'm in full agreement. I'd love to chat with you at some point about these topics. All best, Al

The coach talks about a dropped elbow however, does not provide "coaching" on how this swimmer could improve this position.
It is important for those using an ergometer to maintain a neutral head in alignment with the spine. The head extends (lifts) as this swimmer demonstrates resulting in asymmetrical reactions. One of which is the dropped elbow when fatigued.
During the 1/2 pulls the swimmer should keep the fingers pointed downwards and not close the armpit or move the elbow backwards.

Thanks for your excellent feedback Marc. There are two other clips from this talk when Coach Al provides coaching on improving early vertical forearm (high elbows).
