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

I love your typos. I will try not to be obnoxios as well. Discussion is not obnoxios. We all agreed on the fact that most of our "discussion" was in the "righful challenge" sector. But there might have been a little stuff that dribbled into obnoxios. Maybe he needed a mental break from "discussion."
I let my fingers do the walkng and forget to ask Chuckie how to spell and if you catch me in the morning you really have to watchout. To many letters are close together and it is hard when you just pluck a finger at a time like I do in the dark.
