Which recovery do you use for freestyle and why? I have been a traditional bent arm recovery swimmer for years. Lately, I have been trying a more straight arm recovery(not totally straight and locked out like Michael Klim)
I don't know why, maybe it's because it is different and I don't have the same expectations that I do with my normal stroke, but having more of a straight arm recovery has seemed to help me clean up my entry on the left side.
This could be cause I am not thinking as much about it and just letting it flow. Or it could be more efficient for me. I don't really know at this time.
Thank You for your feedback.

I have the straight arm but like to think I have good hand entry. I've been told that I swim freestyle like I swim butterfly. Personally I do not care what it looks like up top out of the water, I do what works for me and feels comfortable. Its the underwater catch,pull and rotation that I focus on.
