Part three of the front crawl technique videos working on high elbow recovery. After a discussion on technique and merits, a demo of high elbows is shown. Watch Ian's kick in the background at the beginning as he shows proper form (not that I'd want to take anything away from the speaker :-).

The other video describes the underwater catch portion of the stroke--one of the most common questions we get in the sport. Watch the underwater footage of the Olympics and check out their wicked high elbows!
