The other day when I read the thread of FREESTYLE STROKE I found many technique terms of swimming, like catch water, anchor your hand, etc. Or shall I say a lot of swimming physics or principles?
Could someone recommend some onlie free articles about this swimming physics? I am a new swimmer.
Thanks a lot.

It was true in Maglischo's 2nd edition (in fact most of this book was based on this assumption), and became false in the third's edition :shakeshead:
Maglischo fully acknowledged in the current (third) edition that he believes sculling does not generate lift. I think it is honorable of him to say his earlier theory was wrong. I think it's important too to note that his earlier position on sculling was based on research and tests by others. Others thought so too.
Much of the sculling theory was based on Bernoulli's principle - normally applied to airplanes and wing lift. It has not held up as valid for swimmers.
