in this video i believe you were discussing the pivot

if a person is a bit barrel chested and round shoulder, might there be some tips to help make the pivot easier

eck,

Great, great question. There are going to be customizations necessary for different situations. Larger framed upper bodies might have limitations in their body pivot. This is where blending the arms and body is a big key, if you are limited to how much you can pivot back make sure that at least you are #1 lining up right shoulder, right hip, right knee, right ankle as you turn your back as you physical features allow. Make sure your arms reach at least above that right turned shoulder at the top of the backstroke. These should be some simple checkpoints to help you out. Keep us posted on how you do...

i will work on it today, sometimes because of physical structure as the turn begins the body because of limitations moves forward.....i will do it today and post back this evening..

thank you again
