nice style! seems to she has a great kick. I like her high elbow and the body rotation. She'll be great swimmer when she's all grwon up! |

Very nice position in the water and a great anle flexibility. |

Age group! Wow! looks really great although with this athlete I might be ensuring she doesn't cross over. |

Great balance. Breathing too late. Minimal anchor esp with left hand. Too large a kick esp when breathing. |

who that person? she looks a very good swimmer |

The stroke we can see from under water looks great. I guess she's already applying a lot of strength in that catch and pull. |

She has a great point inward of the feet. It looks like her ankles are flexing far enough to have a VERY productive kick. Hard to tell from this angle, but I think that less knee bend or keeping her kick inside of a "smaller box" would allow her to achieve higher speeds. It looks like she has a pretty good posture, although along with modifying the kick to be more hidden, with that great ankle flexibility, I would probably check to make sure that from a side view she was as straight as possible along the underside of the body without compromising being high and balanced on the water. From this picture it also looks like she is setting up for a powerful deep catch. It just looks like from below the chest down could use fine tuning. The video shows that her arm surface area isn't perfect as well as the body position, but she looks relatively young and can probably move fast at freestyle, but not specifically good enough to reach her top speed potential with that technique imo. |
