I just read about the S-pull pattern for freestyle, that is when you pul underwater in an S motion -outward then inward.I never even heard about it.I think I do the straight pull.Out of curiousty - is practiced a lot, do the pro swimmers use the S-pull pattern.And overall, guys, what do you know about it?
Enlighten me, please.
I went to Doc Counsilman's swim camp as a teenager. He was teaching this decades ago. Remember to keep a high elbow while pulling underwater. My coach just found out that many of our swimmers thought high elbow was for the recovery.
If it hurts I'd either stop doing it, or find someone who knows the proper technique and have them watch you underwater.
And as they drilled into our heads, "Always Accentuate Arm Acceleration".
