DNF video analysis - any comments?

[Peter123]

I am in general diving slow. But this dive is particular slow :-/
Distance is 80% of my Max.

Comments are welcomed.

Very nice! 100m total? Try to work on your arms, as you work a little bit wider... Point your palm all the way toward back, pushing yourself forward. Means at the end of the stroke your palm should not point to the surface of the water but to the wall of the pool.

I can't see from this angle but it seems you "reload" your arms through the "center"... Try to do by sides, means just bend your elbow till your fingers point forward and palm faces your cheek and carry your hand forward by side...

Thanks. The dive is only 80m.

Good point. I will work on my hand movement in my next session.

While bringing my arms to the front I am moving my hands close to the body. I think this is a good idea. However I will give your technique a chance ;-)

2:00 - 2:30 you can watch a realy good close up of Mateusz diving technique. I think he is also brings back his arms while his hands stay close to the body.

He does the same... Just try, that's let's say a "new" pattern... The idea is the same, your hand should be close to the body but moving straight forward by side, not through the center of the chest cause this deaccelerates you.
