How many use the early vertical forearm method? How many believe it is less prone to shoulder injuries? I tried it for the first time today and it wore my butt out! I did feel like I had more surface area to pull with and the force felt more horizontally directed toward my feet. I have a lot of work to do if I continue to adopt this stroke method.:bolt: www.youtube.com/watch

  • George told him to exit his hand from the water so he could see his palm. It looked awkward (he could enter it normally) but the pain disappeared. When you say 'he could see his palm' is that so the swimmer could see his palm or the coach could see his palm? If it's the swimmer, I have no idea how that is possible for the swimmer to see his palm on exit if the hand is exiting at or near the hip. I'm very confused by this statement.
