Zey sed Demo Ell, but we ended Demo God! Here is the full award winning performance at Demo 2007. If you wonder what are the technical problems many blogs wrote about, well, let's say that, on the first minutes of the first take, the live audience did not see the good video input on the main projector, for reasons best left unknown :-) Original link for the video : www.demo.com

TIジャパン代表竹内慎司の静かな平泳ぎです。

My slow pace freestyle. For a long time I couldn't figure out why my balance was so poor (not taking into account my head position - it's to high obviously). The answer is that my left arm is overreaching on hand entry and hence crossing the middle line (goes from spine through the top of the head). That causes very bad initial position for a catch phase and thus not efficient stroke and splashy kick (I noticed that bad kick is always consequence of a poor body rotation). In my newer videos you could see how my stroke improved just correcting this things. Swimming is very difficult in terms of technique, since you can't do one thing correct if the other part of your stroke is done improperly, so it's like a circle; one mistake causes other. From my experience I can say that there are points you should watch for. 1. Entry overreaching (described above) 2. Head position (look 5-6 feet ahead of you) 3. High elbow catch (in the begging of your catch phase your elbow should drop slightly, so you could prepare your arm for a high elbow catch. do not pull with your hand!) 4. Single leg kick (in 2 beat kick freestyle only one leg should contribute the kick. the other one should be relaxed) 5. Roll to breathe (don't raise your head. Just roll enough to the side) 6. High elbow recovery (your recovery should be elbow driven, not hand driven! Hand driven recovery leads to entry overreaching and poor balance)
