In the finals of the 1500 at Worlds, I noticed that all of the swimmers were breathing on the first stroke coming out of their turns instead of taking a pull with the deeper arm and breathing on the second stroke. Any thoughts?
Funny guy. No one's ever accused me of being fast before.
Seriously, I push off on the left side, pull with the bottom arm (left), pull with the right arm (left arm is now in the air) then breathe when the left hand hits. Is that the first stroke or the third?
I only count two pulls. Pull with the left, pull with the right, breathe. I don't see how you can take three strokes and only have one hand entry. I must be missing something. I'll have to mess around at the pool in the AM...
