I'm a lazy swimmer!

Here are a couple of videos strung together - one me cruising with no paddles, no fins, etc.
The other with hand paddles and leg buoy.
Paige and I were  filming each other to show breathing position.
But this also shows body position.

Just me showing my swim style.
I do about 15-16 strokes per length. With speed of about 1:48 when doing 500 or 660 metre swim.
Roughly same number of strokes doing 100 metres at 1:35.
At that shorter distance sometimes some 25 metre lengths are 17 strokes.
I have lots of power...

But really, mastering good technique is the real secret.  

But I also tell people I'm lazy.  I do half the number of strokes per length than some.
And go as fast or faster.

Work on your technique.
