So I am fine tuning my stroke for my first meet. I am noticing that my hands during the underwater recovery really drag, and I can't figure out a hand position that will stop it.
I take a big pull (how I was taught), way deeper on my chest than my regular pull, so the hands have a long way to go along my body. Am I still supposed to do this?
Any general comments regarding starts and turns welcome, too.
Luckily, my meet is LCM, so I only have to worry about it on the start next week.
Thanks for any help. BTW, swam a 36 (50Y) from the wall at the end of practice today, which is great for me, so thanks again to everyone who has helped me out. :chug:
As soon as you begin to slow down begin to creep your hands up your abdomen and then chest with your palms facing your body and touching or nearly touching your body.
Rigid straight hands here - so they feel like they're slicing!
