This video is really helpful. I made these faults before, now I know how to remind myself everything Im getting into a pool. Thanks again for sharing!

@TheLeilisa Definitely! I'm 6'4 and with less power output I can swim the same pace as another swimmer that is shorter than me. You have more weight to pull but the same amount of drag if you keep your body straight, in other words, head down. Your reach is also further than the shorter guy's reach, thus more pulling and more power. If you look at the olympics, those guys are all above 6ft. The only disadvantage is in open water where the space is limited to how close the other athletes are.
