Free Videos Your Swimmers Need to Watch

Coaches, if you aren't using video to teach, inspire, and correct your swimmers, you are missing out in a big way.  Here are some videos that you simply must show your swimmers:
1. Ryan Lochte Backstroke Technique.  Perhaps the world's best all-around swimmer performing his best stroke.  Excellent underwater example as well.

2. Men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay from 2000 Sydney Olympics.  One of the most exciting races in history, with a background story that you can use as an anti-trash-talking lesson.  It can also be used as a lesson on how NOT to chase down your competition.
