So it's only taken 7 years to improve this much???

Hi Shinji, Thanks for the great video. I have one question: Did you find your times improved after switching to TI-style freestyle?
-
What is different about your positioning, Shinji, that makes your hips and legs higher than Terry's?

Love this video -- it gives me hope that someday, I'll swim much better than I do now.

I see you switched form 6 beat kick to 2 beat kick for improved stability. I tried the same. I can swim either way but for me, 2 beat kick seems to require lot more upper body strength and higher tempo. I am more comfortable with 6 or 4 beat kick. Is there anything wrong with 6 or 4 beat kick swimming at normal tempo?

@afara2000,
It is your choice. People sometimes try to snap harder when they use 2 beat kick, and it causes loss of energy. Smaller flutter kick is more efficient than inefficient 2 beat kick. You make sure your roll can sync with the leg motion every three kicks when you use 6 beat kick.

Lovely technique! I was wondering if you could help me with my two-beat kick. I just... can't do it. Whenever I start swimming, I just do my usual 6 beat kick as a force of habit and simply can't seem to do the 2 beat kick! I think the problem is psychological, but maybe I need to reprogramme my muscle memory? What do you think I should do?

@9littleducks,
The problem of 2-beat kick is mainly caused by your dominant side. If your dominant side is left, you will focus that you try not to move your left leg then you enter (spare) left arm.

im thinking about coming in for lessons with you in SJ, do you teach side stroke as well?

I am afraid I do not teach side stroke.
