Interesting. I've been swimming in a coached masters swim session for a while and for the past few weeks I've been feeling a bit frustrated because the coach is trying to get me to make a change in my 'timing' and I really struggle to feel or even understand exactly what it is I'm supposed to be doing. But, I think by comparing my video with Hazel I can begin to see it.
Look at the 2 screenshots, and you can see that while Hazel's recovering arm is coming over his shoulder, his leading arm has only just stopped extending and is just beginning to drive through. By contrast, at approximately the same point in the stroke my arms are almost opposite, with my recovering arm coming past my shoulder but my leading arm already almost vertical beneath me.
I'm pretty sure that is what the coach is talking about so now I just need to learn to feel when I'm getting it right.

1500m swim this morning. All front crawl, no breaststroke (which I used to need to do to recover). Plenty of pauses between 100m sets though, reducing the rest gaps is the next thing for me to work on so I can do the full 1500m in one go (I'll leave ladders and kick/pull sessions until I've got the fitness up, and then I'll also look to get a lesson for an instructor to pull my technique to pieces.)
