When I swim breaststroke, I use the outsweep and insweep type of pull. I don't focus on pulling back at all. I read it somewhere that you should also focus on pulling back. WHen I tried doing that, my hands got stuck and my timing is off. Anyone has any thoughts?
Also, how wide should you pull? I sweep out to 12-15 inches outside my shoulder width, anchor my hands, then start insweep? I am concerned it might be too wide. When I tried anchoring my hands narrower, I don't feel as powerful of an insweep.
Thanks.
Newtons Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. While it is applicable,actually applying it in a moving fluid is much harder than you might imagine. In fact Bernoulli Principle applies directly only in a perfect(non viscous)fluid with laminar flow. Practically speaking this means that "feel for the water" is more useful than physics,at least at our current level of knowlege.
