I've seen a number of articles recommending immediate catch right after the entry of the hands. Video clips of competition swimmers also seem to adopt this method.
However, when I try a little bit of outsweep and downsweep first without catching and then start catching with a high elbow, it feels less tiring and just as propulsive.
What is the today's recommended manner of catching in terms of the timing?

I've been doing some EVF isometrics and for the short amount of time I perform them I've been getting wonderful results from nearly every swimmer. I've been doing some virtual swimming (dryland swimming where I mimic the perfect stroke). I spend less than five minutes doing the isometrics and I can't imagine why I've been skipping this kind of practice. Good luck to all! Coach T.
