On this 50 grand is going faster. So one of the things to notice what to go back and look at the other one, but his feet placement is, is high on the wall in order to get a little bit of a downward exit to get into some deeper water

less underwater dolphins because he wants to get up to speed a little bit quicker. But we do notice that his body is still in this breakout position perfectly horizontal to or parallel to the surface of the water. Great head position down, you see that he's attacking the hands much quicker this time. And so we'll see more of a separation between the two hands. So this does constitute a more forward quadrant or catch up type of stroke. And that this hand is entering before this hand passes the shoulder. That does also lead to better connection through the lats and the way that that body pulls the arm back. Great extension forward

to the head position. I'm not sure if he's taken a breath yet.

So staying we're stable in this one. There's the breath up a little bit in order to get the breath but then settles back down nicely.

Great balance, stronger kick

and obviously a higher tempo. Look at how the head buries into the turn.

Again, beautiful breakout. Look at that catch. So this is what we're trying to do is get this arm into a position that is leveraging on the water as much as possible

will notice a lot of the bigger athletes are going to have more of a straighter arm. Then you'll see on some of the bent arm swimmers or the high elbow swimmers. Again this it takes a lot of strength but it does give a lot of surface area in pushing back. So it is beneficial but again you have to be trained in order to do this and it takes years and making sure that the shoulders are properly conditioned to take advantage of that longer lever that we see here.

So you get this balanced breath. So it comes up slightly but we never see that bottom goggle leave the water.

Again, beautiful job head down into the finish. And again touching low on the wall, not up on the gutter
