I tried the closed fist drill for a few lengths in a pool. I alternated between closed fist drill and normal swimming as fast as possible, with full rest between. However, the times were the same between closed fist and normal, and when using closed fist, both stroke rate and stroke per length increased slightly, resulting in the same time.
How should I interpret the numbers?
Hey Miklcct -
Do you swim with a tight (fingers together), cupped hand, normally? Other than the Early Vertical comments above, sometimes the tight cup makes our hand less a paddle and more a fist. Leave about a 10th of an inch between our fingers and keep the hand firm but supple.
