    Great Video!!! The part on reducing excess torque applies to me. I will for sure think about that the next time i’m in the pool. Thanks!

    I had no idea about drag reduction gains. I thought powering through would suffice but I keep being beaten in raw speed, I will put into practice everything in this video from now on.

    My two favorite things about this video…my improved swim time (down approx 67% since correcting my stroke based on tips from Jerry and Dale) and…the shark that swims across the shot during the amazing, sleeping, viking princess scene. Seriously, THANKS!

    After 5 years I am still a novice Sports Center swimmer, and find this video quite useful as a means of prepping myself both tutorially and psychologically before heading to the pool. Thanks for investing your time, Jamie and Dale, so that other swimmers can strive to swim as efficiently as you. Go BRA!
