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,

You wouldn't???.....I thought everyone had at least 2 or 3 of those things??
BTW It is nice to see you are back to stay (at least for a while it seems) Leonard. I'm sorry if you ran into a brick wall recently (as you mentioned on another thread)...but its good to have you back again and I hope things are better now? I need all the geek support I can get around here (not referring to "The Geek" here....just geeks in general).
