Just wondering what the current thinking is on straight arm freestyle.
By this I mean straight arm recovery as well as a straight arm pull underwater.
How many swimmers are coached in this style? Age groupers and masters.
Does this style require more flexibility in the shoulders?
Is the shoulder injury rate different in this style.
Does anyone know of SWAD's (In particular Cerebral Palsy) who can swim with a straight arm recovery and underwater pull.
(ps, this was a question posed to me by a friend in another city. Apparently a new coach is now implemeting this. So was looking for some input)
