Response to video from Helenita

Hi Deb,

Wow, you are looking really good! I think you have made progress in each of those areas and I have a hard time identifying the issues anymore.

Your head still moves a little, but it's a lot better. Your recovery is much smoother. The left hand entry is still a little ahead of the body. Stop the video between 1:15-1:16 and you will see your arm already extended before the body has rotated. But at 1:17 you can see that when the right arm is extended the body has already rotated. It is so slight that it's not really noticeable anymore when you are swimming, but it'll give you something to think about. You can also see it at 1:52 if you stop it just right.

I would say slow down the recovery just a tiny bit more and maybe even see if a higher elbow (on the left) at entry feels OK. For that you may want to compare your video with Shinji's. Your right elbow entry looks great, but when you slow it down you can see that the elbow enters a little flat on the left. This is all part of the same thing, so it will get resolved when your arm enters at the same speed as the hip rotating behind it.

Great work!
