Amanda Beard comes up very high on the water. Almost like shes leaning on her elbows/forearms on the suface of the water. How high in general should you come up? I have always been taught to stay fairly close the to the surface. I can see how it would give her more propulsion when she is under the water and finishes her kick, but doesnt it interrupt the stroke? it would seem to make it more "stop and go" instead of a fluid movement.
i'd agree that brendan hansen is a better model to follow.
Brendan trains in the same pool I do in Austin.
Beard is awesome, she probably comes up too high.
I believe the most important part of *** stroke is being streamlined and flat when you fire your legs for each kick to glide fast and far.
I struggle with lifting my head in *** stroke. The really good *** strokers I've worked with tell me to keep my head still and in a neutral position.
