How to Film Yourself Swimming
In order for us to see your swimming to be able to comment on improvements you can make we need a few decent clips of you swimming.
The clips do not have to be very long, 60 seconds or so is fine, but the angle at which they're filmed is very important so that we can see what you're doing from above and also see your hand and feet and rotation positioning under the water.
With this in mind we recommend the following methods but feel free to use your own and unleash your creativity!
Pool Side
Get a friend or a coach to film you from the side of the pool walking alongside you as you swim next to the wall. The best angles are from above and from the side.
Endless Pool
Hire or borrow an endless pool for 10 minutes and get someone to film you from the side and above as you're swimming along. Get them to film you from the side and also above.
Kayak, Open Water
Get a friend to kayak alongside you and take videos while you are swimming in the open water. It is easiest if they're stationary and you swim past them and they film you as you go past.
