What is the concensus on the modern freestyle pull for sprints; is it straight back or slightly curved (S-shaped like the butterfly pull but with less curve)?
Additionally, links to diagrams/articles would also be greatly appreciated!
It seems to me that there is some s-like action when your hand is over your head as you scull a bit, but then it is straight down most of the way. Because the body is rotating, from the perspective of the swimmer the hand can seem to be moving in an s motion, but it is going straight from the perspective of the bottom of the pool.
Swim fast,
Greg
