Is there anyone who knows where the hand should be entering the water during freestyle? I have heard a lot of opinions on this: chin level, eye level, and fully outstretched. This seems important and I have not been able to get two identical answers. I'd like to get my form down this year as I plan on doing a few triathlons. Thanks for your help.
John,
There is no one perfect location for hand entry on freestyle. What’s more important is what the hand does when it enters the water. My personal preference is for my hands to be about 3/4 fully extended. This way the hand can finish extending and reaching down for the catch.
