Great Videos to show your swimmers. Good stuff.
Phelps and Thorpe
At approximately 30sec, 48 sec, 1min, and more, you’ll see the hand enter from both Phelps and Thorpe when the opposite hand is in the EVF position and during the power phase.

Early Vertical Forearm, just a more technical name for the catch or how you set up the stroke. Each competitive stroke can be separated into four different segments or quadrants. The front quadrant is where propulsion initiates; the beginning of the second quadrant and the end of the first quadrant is where power from the stroke occurs; the third quadrant where the recovery is initiated and the fourth quadrant is where the recovery makes the transition to the entry. The all important EVF position or catch should be located in the first quadrant of each stroke. If you'd like more information please email me at tomtopo@netzero.com Good luck, Coach T.
