Swimming Analysis - Todd

Thank you for sending across these excellent quality clips! Let's dive into your swim analysis. There are some fantastic aspects of your stroke already, especially your post-entry extension and high elbow position, which are setting up your stroke nicely.

Focus Points:

1. Buoyancy and Hip Position:
The buoyancy shorts are affecting your natural feel in the water. Without them, you might feel your hips sinking.
The height of your stroke during recovery is impacting your hips, especially during the entry phase.
Your right hand enters the water with more force, dragging your right side down from shoulder to hip. In contrast, your left hand's relaxed placement allows your hips to return to neutral, creating a rocking motion.

2. Pelvic Rotation:
Tight hip flexors are causing improper pelvic rotation, a common issue among triathletes.
Try feel drills like front sculling with a snorkel, focusing on rotating your hips to activate your glutes more. Using flippers can help generate natural lift.

Next Steps:
Let's re-evaluate your stroke in a few weeks without the buoyancy shorts and implement drills to address the height issue.

Great work, Todd! If you have any questions or need further guidance, leave a comment below.
