If someone were told Butterfly and Breaststroke are short-axis strokes, how would you explain what 'short-axis' means? Trying to find a simple way to explain this phrase, but I'm coming up fairly empty.

  • you rock back and forth like a short skewer is stuck through you from hip to hip as opposed to the long-axis strokes where you rotate back and forth like a long skewer is stuck from your head to toes although that's not the greatest description either... because you don't really rotate along the axis like you truly do in free and back. tough one. good luck
