Ian Thorpe at 1/4 speed at the 'Commonwealth Games'
I have a slow arm turnover. When I swim a 100 free I look like I am swimming a 200. I think the reason why is that my hands go to deep. I think I should pull closer to my chest like the video above.
I'm not sure you're reading Thorpe's stroke right - I see a very early catch but an arm which still remains pointing downwards. His body roll is absolutely huge which may also be distorting our perception of his stroke. I might be completely wrong about this. Perhaps a video of him from the front would be better.
