Hi, I have to say that I am somewhat confused about whether or not ,when I am doing freestyle ,if I should roll my body and rotate my hips.My Masters coach has said that the body should stay flat and that I should just roll my shoulders when I stroke and keep my hips flat.For me this means that my stroke length is shorter when I do this and also my time is slower.Can anyone please enlighten me.
Consider this. My wife went with me to SC Nationals in Tempe. This was probably the first meet she's ever really watched. At one point she said to me "you can tell the fast swimmers because they're the ones with the most hip rotation. The flat swimmers are always slower."
I can't fathom why a coach would tell you to keep your hips flat.
