The first loss of a master is memory, the second...I forgot. I probably have already asked this question, but here goes:
Does anyone bring their arm straight down and out after the grab? I am talking no sculling, no lateral movement, just bringing the arm straight parallel with the line maintaining the elbow high position. This would be to avoid crossing the midline with your forearm. Even though I breathe on the left, I still rotate fully to the right (a learned and trained and voluntary movement), but even so my right forearm tends to the middle, while my left arm has less pull and is erractic. When I learned the crawl it was from watching Tarzan movies, later when I was 16 and in a USA high school they taught the S shaped movement or the straight down and back. In those days the breathing was to one side. Last question: aside from timing both methods, what are your preferences on the long dolphin versus "less dolphin" emerging sooner method of starts and turns on a 50 meter short course freestyle race? Thanks, billy fanstone
Thanks for bringing this one again George. Again I must have spent 10 minutes playing it in loop.
It appears on this clip that the hand is traveling backward. Hackett needs very few lateral sculling, probably as a result of a massive acceleration of the hand.
Listen. I once had a swim conference where the speaker was Calgary swim club head coach. You know those lat pulldowns done on a fix bars, chin ups? In great shape I could probably do 50. You know how many Mark Tueskberry could do in '92? Unlimitted non stop. Only limitted by the time available.
Cause that's basically what Hackett does, a "one arm" lat pulldown followed by a "one arm" dip. In between the two the hand does a little s (passage of the elbow).

I watched this one. Two questions. Can we do lat pulldowns with shoulder problems? And Hackett seems to be pushing his hands past his hips rather than using the early exit/front quadrant swimming. Or am I just looking at it wrong?
