Two beat kick. The kick is narrow, and bounces back to streamline quickly. I remember some coach told me the similar trick: kick and then touch your two big toes together for gliding. It minimizes the resistance, and helps keep balance(from over-rotation).
I love the rotation part. Early vertical forearm causes a lot of pressure in the shoulder. However, if you rotate enough, the forearm is like bent to the side and that is not so much strain. The cost is you have to rotate a lot, which slows down the stroke rate. But if speed is not so important, then this may be the most efficient way of swimming.

Finally someone said it. I have just learnt freestyle properly at age 42 and acquired it in 1 hr of self teaching. This rotation came natural to me.

Thank you for the video, I feel like I am stopping in the water when I am suppose to be gliding. I have the technique in my head, but I’m having trouble with my timing to make it happen. I will continue to practice to rotate and put energy into my pull.

Wow, 1:20 per hundred with an almost catch-up stroke? Not only is that amazing, but beautiful too! Good for you!! 😀

I too have had shoulder issues and have discovered rotation as a key for my continued swim, I've been training with a masters team since 2005. But I don't think I am quite as rotated at 90° the way you look. Is that what I should aim for, 90°?

My coach has always said long and strong, and I do reach with every stroke, but I want to shave more time off my 100's. I've been working on this for a long time and have made tiny improvements, but not the improvements I was hoping for by now. I'm going to try to rotate just a wee bit more to see if that makes a difference.

Thank you for your footage, I always say the prettier the stroke, the more effecient the stroke becomes. You definitely have a gorgeous stroke. 😁👍 Keep up the good work. 🙂

When your body rotates that much, if you also turn your head, you can almost face straight upwards, like the head position of backstroke. You can keep your head completely under water and only puff your mouth on the surface of the water like a fish, if you don't care some water leaks into your mouth. I like that feeling, although I know it is not necessary. Just for fun.

In the Ocean looking up to see where I’m going throwing my balance off . I’m trying not to lift my head too much.. I’m getting better.. any advice

[benoitleleu]

I m trying to glide from side to side but still can’t improve my overall speed (2’/100m, 24 strokes /100m )😭
