As you can probably guess by my name, freestyle is a confusing stroke for me.
What is the proper timing for the freestyle stroke?
Should one pause briefly before trying to pull?
Can kicking too much mess up the timing of the stroke?
When you swim with a freestyle snorkel, how much does that slow you down?
Should it be thumb first entry, pinky first or finger tip first?
Thanks for your help.
Thumb first entry can lead to shoulder impingement problems. Be very mindful here. I strive for fingertips but actually aim for pinkies to overcompensate for my tendency to go thumb first.
