1. tight streamline position.
2. rotating knees medially (inwardly) when bend for kicking  (0:14 dolphin kick, 0:16 flutter kick) or you can take it as "heels rotating laterally (outwardly)  You can scrutinize the video, or check the image I captured from the very same video.
3. fast entry (not as soft as freestyle).
4. keep hands above elbow position during "pull" stage.
