The blade tip makes initial contact with the water on the left side. The paddle is angled steeply forward at this moment.
2(L) · Pull
The entire propulsive surface of the blade is immersed in the water on the left side. The paddle is nearly vertical, maximum force is applied.
3(L) · Exit
The last moment the full blade surface is in contact with the water on the left side. The paddle begins to leave the water at the hip.
4(L) · Aerial
The last moment the blade tip is in contact with the water on the left side. The paddle is swinging through the air to the right side.
1(R) · Entry
The blade tip makes initial contact with the water on the right side. The paddle is angled steeply forward at this moment.
2(R) · Pull

How to Annotate
Each tempo segment contains ~40–60 frames. You must identify and label
exactly 8 key frames — one per phase event — in the correct
sequence: L·Entry → L·Pull → L·Exit → L·Aerial → R·Entry → R·Pull → R·Exit → R·Aerial.
Navigate freely through all frames using A / D or the arrow keys.
When you find the frame that best represents a phase event, press the corresponding
key to label it. The tool will not advance to the next tempo until the sequence is
valid. You can re-label any frame at any time.
The required annotation sequence is not satisfied. Fix the issues below before advancing.
Required: L·Entry → L·Pull → L·Exit → L·Aerial → R·Entry → R·Pull → R·Exit → R·Aerial
(8 frames, picked freely from the tempo, assigned in this order by frame index)
