Awesome Animated Swim Analysis

Hey Guys!

For all of those newbies, and expert swimmers for that matter. This is an awesome site. It allows you to view the strokes of some top olympic swimmers. This is what you are supposed to look like in the water! Here is the link to a 1500m freestyle swimmer. Watch his body position, rotation, hand position (during his stroke, extended and recovery) Also, watch his kick and see how little he actually does it.

On the left of the screen you can move the camera angle around so you can view the swimmer from all angles. For sure, look at the side, front, top and bottom angles.
