I am trying to improve my freestyle. I have been working on balance,timing,counting strokes.
When watching videos of world classs swimmers, I noticed that on swimmers like Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, that their arm in the water is fully extended(straight) and angled below the corresponding shoulder. It looks as though the arm that is about to catch the water is angled to where it points towards where the pool wall and pool bottom meet. Not pointed directly down but not pointed directly straight out from the shoulder to the wall.
It seems like most of the best freestylers have their extended arms pointed below their bottom shoulder at an angle before the pull. This also appears to only happen once they have finished the rotation to that side.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I way off?
Thanks,

Congrats to you and good luck in the future, I am glad you found Terry's info so very important in your journey, I am sure you could never have done it without his help. I have never said that anything he says is false, but as I state I am also allowed to voice my opinions. If they are not helpful to you don't read my posts.
May I also add I enjoyed your girlie cyclist post that you took down.
I think you made a typo too (Actually I've haven't loss a race) (the I've should not be there and loss should be lost) !955 a typo error I am sure you have never made one oops. I must change it thanks for the tip on my erronious ways. If you ever have another typo in a post I will not even mention it. If you check all my posts I am sure you could find many.
