To avoid confusion, here I'm referring to the high-elbow recovery (above water), not the underwater high-elbow catch and pull. It is often said this is important for saving energy etc., but it seems some elite swimmers don't use that. Opinions and poll taking welcome :)

I simply meant stretch your arm until it's fully extended. A good reach promotes a streamlined position. Hope this helps. Coach T.
I see. I had thought the high-elbow recovery helps with rotation, but didn't know it also helps with reaching to maximum extension. Thanks :)
