Video Analysis

I hear lots of athletes talk of wanting a "local" coach.  More often than not though, the local coach is not the best coach available.  The thought that having someone close means more attention or a more custom plan may have been true 15 years ago.  Now,  the almost unlimited means of communication available to athletes means they can have close relationships with coaches many miles away allowing them to pick the who's best rather than who lives in town.

Swim

Note how the athlete lifts the head just prior to breathing.  This leads to a dropping of the hips and a slight sway from side to side just before and during the breathe.  The movement is exaggerated as the swimmer picks up the pace

Along with a drill to help correct it.
