Head position: These ladies say always look up while doing freestyle.




In the photo above, Joe Jackson is in the middle. I believe Rebecca Adlington is to her left. Note the head position on all three swimmers. They are all looking up 45-degrees or more.

UPDATE: Below that is a video from GoSwim with a rational supposition as to how to figure out which sort of head position is best for you.

Bring on the slings and arrows!

    Maybe they're afraid of crashing into the camera. :-)

    Or they want to be ready for their closeup?

    I updated the post to include a critique video from Glenn Mills!
