I swam in a meet last weekend and I got a lot of grief from some of my swim buddies for swinging my arm, after touching with both hands, from the wall to streamline, straight. You know, the top arm. They say it is faster to bend that arm as it comes over.......hard to break my old habit , if it is true. Any thoughts out there from coaches, ex-coaches or coach wanna-bees ? Bert ~~~^o^~~~
