I believe the arm recovery may be the most important part of the swim stroke in front crawl. It is to me similar to a 12 volt power inverter converting power to 110 volts. The action above the water is what produces the power of the stroke underwater.
In 1958 I started writing a book titled Power Swimming from the Start I did not complete this book and it is still unfinished and probably will never be finished. It was one of the concepts I had written about.
For wimps like me (and not power swimmers like George), the recovery is all about expending as little energy as possible, trying to relax while moving the arm, so I won't be worn out during the stroke pull.
