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

You are a doll. It would be nice to actually know what I am supposed to be doing with sculling. Maybe my lack of knowledge triggers the reluctance. (what does being a doll mean?)
Comparing sculling with one every day life activity, cooking, I'd say that sculling is a sauce. It doesn't target any specific mechanical aspect you know, it's really a feeling type of sauce. So just like sauce, you might not want to eat just that. You might not want to swim 1000m of sculling (though in some instances especially for triathletes I probably did come close to prescribing that).
You might want to use it here and there, mixed with some other stuff. After a while, you'll learn to enjoy the accute feeling for water you get immediately after having done 50 or 100y of scullings. We're allowed to prefer a sauce over an other, and prefer a type of sauce for a type of dish.
I took note about your injury record and will process your request as soon as I can. I'll be back baby ! (A.Schwarzenegger; 1990)
