I posted a couple weeks ago about keeping my legs horizontal and I am getting better by swimming down hill, pressure on chest and arm pits and reaching out in front of me.
I have been taught or learned to finish my stroke all the way by my thigh for a full stroke. I realized my palm at the end was really pushing the water up and thus pushing my legs down.
I recently borrowed from my coach at DVD by Richard Quick ( Stanford U ) where he showed to finish by putting the arm in the saddle ( his words ) and finish his stroke by putting the arm across your naval or stomach.
He also indicates the last 30 % of the stroke after you hand passes chest ( stermum) is not not very important.
Comments any one ? Where should my hand stop and start recovery ?
Thanks Bob
