This is the best video I have seen on Fly timing.
It's hard to express how much important is to tell your mind over and over again by repetition the correct way to do a movement BEFORE actually trying to do it in the pool or in the court, track etc...
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well, to me, the upper body position is not correct when the head is down and the arms are in the water. You have a major bend at the hip. Watching an underwater of Michael Phelps some years back, his arms are parallel to the top of the water, which is minimal drag position. His chest is maybe 18 inches below the top of the water, so huge arch in his chest and back. For those I see who swim it properly, this is more similar than what your avatar is doing. It just appears to be a high drag position.

Appreciate your work in putting together a novel and I think useful way of viewing the stroke with use of avatar. Very little mention of the kicks which I think are critical in fly although can see them. I personally do not think the use of letters and stages such as H1, A1, A4 add anything at all to the presentation, just overcomplicate it. (Perhaps this is meant for a biomechanical analysis study?)

cool video on the timing of everything

Thanks!

Anyone who leaves his computer and go try swimming butterfly would find out pretty quickly that there are no thousands ways to lift your head out of the water and catch breath

Perfect 👍
