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:
Hands begin to move up the body first, then the kick begins right after and shoots the hands forward to streamline.
Then start your evilstroke madness!
OK, I went through my sequence standing here and I think I am doing it right. It's one thing to visualize and another to do. Whew, close call.
Still think I need to work on keeping my hands under and close to my body.
