Correcting My Freestyle: Going from an S-Pull to an I-Pull

Renie I like my little finger down but as long as your arm is bent it is what is comfortable for you. The body must rotate in order to do the "I" pull. So contrary to what most believe all the action of the "S" pull still happens because of body roll when you do the "I" stroke. I have done an I pull for an awfully long time. I have done it since 1958 and maybe even longer. Stud It is too bad that some need a line to follow, there are no lines on the bottom of the pool I swim in. It is a matter of body, hand co-ordination. You just put the hand in let it drop to the catch and push straight back to the finish.
