Hmm.. I would say that if you are going to post a vid about good stroke, you need to HAVE a good stroke regardless of your results.. New swimmers need to see the exact stroke mechanics above and below the water. Sounds like an excuse to say how good his results are..
Who ever the people are saying this stroke is poor,look at what he has acheived in triathlon, he is one of the fastest triathlon swimmers in the world,never being out of the top 5 coming into t1 in any race he has ever done,he is an open water swimmer so therefore swims like one,do not be so concerned with what he does ova the water,look at the mechanics under the water and you will see he has a fantastic catch and pull through the water!
The swimmer's stroke is terrible. He should not have been made the model of this drill. He might mislead others in believing that what his doing is correct.
Your drill's are very good and very text book,your stroke is terrible your not reserving any energy,the only way that stroke would be good in open water is if its choppy and even at that you would go trough a wave rather than over it.cant see much of the under water....
I'd question why this is not a good way to swim?? It may not be textbook over the water but the mechanics below the water are extremely effective and efficient. It's also great for open water - hence he's one of the fastest tri swimmers in the world. Nobody's saying it's perfect but it's far from horrible!
only the music is good in this video
