I don't understand the following comments:
1. "Too many swimmers focus on pushing their hand back at the end of the stroke, which just delays getting it back to the power position".
2. ""hand's aren't pushing back far enough" knowing it was obsolete "
One of my favorite freestyle instructional videos of Lindsay Benco stresses "completing the stroke all the way past your hip".
Has emphasis on this phase of the stroke become obsolete, and a quicker recovery considered more efficient?
Also the coach yells, "Thumbs down your sides!" Does this still apply?
Thanks for your advice,
Georgio :drown:
I naturally forget to finish the final part of the stroke by pushing back, but when I add it in to the stroke it definately helps. There are very powerful muscles at optimal leverage at work here that would otherwise be creating drag.
