I was watching a clip of Lindsay Benko's freestyle video on youtube YouTube - Swim Fast - Freestyle with Lindsay Benko
Around 1:33, she said that when breathing she kept her shoulder as close to her head as possible so that there is no space in between. I wonder which side of shoulder she referred to? The side same as the arm in the air or the arm in the water?
Also I remember vaguely that when an arm is stretched in front, that side of the shoulder needs to touch the chin on the same side. Is it true?
Thanks!
