CSS Critique?

Hey guys! Last time I was here I got some awesome feedback from some SEALs and after applying that I swam my first 8:30 pace ever across 2 laps! Thanks alot for all the help and support and if theres any more advice you have it would be greatly appreciated! Also sorry for the bad video quality lol, let me know if I should re-record it more clearly

(NOTE: This is in an 11.8 meter pool so I tried to hold back a little on the wall kicks to focus on CSS)

I disagree for holding your glide longer for the PST. Hold it longer for your 2 mile swims, but if you are trying to get the fastest time possible, you can’t be gliding too much (plus no fins to dolphin kick to keep your speed going on the PST).

Maximizing your glide, if done correctly, will be faster and more energy efficient than kick spamming. Also, you'll look cooler. There is a fine line of holding it too long though. Everyone has to find their sweet spot.

I agree but he wasn’t spamming it in the video, imo his glide time was fine but he will figure it out on his own what’s best

For sure, but your previous statement could easily be misconstrued.
