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,
David
In the event, exactly what would you have me do differently?
Here are a couple of ideas that may benefit both your business and interested swimmers.
First, pay for a sponsored link on the USMS Home page. Maybe you already do this. I really believe you should pay for the marketing you do on this site.
Second, much as Ande does, have you own discussion thread devoted to TI and your theories. That way folks could drop by whenever they want, pose questions, etc. Ande's "blog" of sorts on this forum has been quite useful over the past year or so.
