Fqs

I swim with a man who does 57 to 63 strokes per length. He is entirely a fqs and rotates his hips. I'm convinced that his forward movement is totally generated by his hip rotation. His arms have nothing to do with his forward movement. Watch a really bad swimmer and see what proples them. It is really surprising to realize that the arms are very important in forward power but are extremely important in directing that energy created by the hip rotation. The man I swim with would do much better if he simply directed his hands & arms backwardtowards his feet instead of out, down and sideways. It is onlyone body, all muscle movent is connected and creates a chain reaction that proles or thrusts the body in a certain direction. If you cantunnel the hip rotation with the arm and hand movement then you will swim forward efficiently. I think Phil's explaination a few entries back isvery correct. I agree TI is confusing to read. I think most swimming books are and must bee read several times in small quantities.
