I've been swimming competitively for year and now as a junior I need to drop some time as I became key to our swim team. For relays, on my team CW I remember my coach teaching me a relay pickup where you take 2 steps and then jump of the blocks for maximum momentum off the blocks and now I forgot how to do it. If anyone knows, it would be nice for you to explain or link a video to it. Thanks
If anyone is wondering, i'm in our Medley Relay which went a 1:44:10 last week early in the season, I swim the fly leg and went a 24.9. I also swim the 400 free relay which I barely made the cut as the 4th fastest going second leg, I went 53.70 100 free while everyone else on my relay goes sub 50. I main butterfly and go sub 56.
One difference is that we circle his arms around in a full circle as we step forward so that the momentum is a bit greater.
Yes, I think that technique can help, but the timing is even more difficult then. You need to start the windup early and then start stepping forward when your arms start coming forward. If the timing is off your arms aren't going to aid your momentum as much as they should.
