I don’t feel qualified to comment on swimming Stu. I spent years getting endless pool coaching and improved massively. It’s a great tool for sure. I found picking a couple of key techniques to focus on between endless pool filming very productive. Of course, change one thing and 10 other things need to change🤯🤣
Stu, looking nice and relaxed during the above water recovery phase. Your underwater arm entry and pull can be improved to pull more water. If you look at early vertical forearm videos it'll show you how. The other main thing, which will be forever in swimming is streamline. Practice, practice, practice. Hold your streamline as tight as you can with a long controlled, tight body shape. Your legs flick out off streamline a lot during your kick so I'd use the pullbuoy as part of the session so you can raise your hips but concentrate on keeping your legs close together.
Some great feedback. Thank you. I've already started to look up the vertical forearm videos. Someone mentioned it to me in the pool the other week. Looks like something I really have to work on. 👌
from my perspective, not enough mud grass and mountains mate... but seriously mate look nice and relaxed but im no swimming expert.....keep up the good work.
I bi lat breathe everytime I'm at the pool. When I'm working on easy stuff and technique stuff then I will bi lat breathe and when I increase the intensity I breather to one side. I to tend to prefer breathing to one side but I can switch it up in a race with no issues. 👌 Hope your doing well.

🤣🤣 Isn't that the truth. When you think of one thing then everything else goes to pot. 🤣🤣 Swimming is always so hard to try and improve. 🙈

For all those reasons that's why I like swimming 🤣🤣 It's nice and warm inside. I'm not hard enough to be a long distance trail runner 🙈
Looks good to me, but you’re about 30secs/ 100 yards quicker than me 😅
It's not bad but it can be so much better 🤔 I'm sure you will be flying in the pool by the time Bolton comes around 👌
Just need some carbon plated goggles and you'll be flying mate 👍 😅
To be fair I've just bought some new goggles on a black Friday deal and I already feel faster. I can actual see out of them 🤣🤣
How often to you practice bilateral breathing or breathing on your non dominant side? I'm trying to do that more to fix any imbalances.
