What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
I started this thread over in the work outs section which I think doesn't get as much traffic as the general discussion board
so here's the link
forums.usms.org/showthread.php
but my point is,
No matter what, the time between right now and your focus meet is going to pass, and the things you do to prepare for your meet is of the UTMOST importance.
the choices you make
the chances you take
swim hard in practice
rehearse racing
I want to read your story about your breakthrough.
Decide it starts today
that this season will be your best season EVER
What do you need to do to make this true?

EVF is early vertical forearm which means hands go down and elbows stay high.
Catch quick and maximize the resistance of your hands and forearms applying propulsive power to the pool.
EVF works great for for freestyle, butterfly, and breastroke pull downs.
I'm not so sure about EVF for breastroke stroke.
The keys for breastroke are:
+ perfect your technique and timing,
increase propulsivness and decrease resistance.
+ Apply power quickly, and
+ RIDE THE GLIDE, spend more time streamlined
Do what Kitajima does

Sorry,I thought you were endorcing leading with the elbows as ELaine was doing in her video.EVF could be more EDiagonalF for these swimmers. The important point is to have the forearm as a propulsive surface as well as the hand.
