  • Chuck......you nailed it. Swimmers who try to "pull" their hands/arms thru the water can be spotted quickly......working way to hard and losing. Place the hand and move thru it is the "feel" that many struggle to find along with integrating the kick and core rotation. Done correctly there's virtually no sense of it being work.
