https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/9492/recovery-to-catch-drillsHi all, I&#39;ve been noticing a bit of a dead spot out in front of my freestyle stroke and am wondering if there are any drills to help me speed up the transition from the recovery to the catch/pull. Thanks, Danen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/152189?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:48:30 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ee89794a-88bf-415c-a3ee-f7d3f268a462Former MemberEarly vertical forearm describes what you want.

I hate drills have a coach show you what to do.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/152161?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 06 Oct 2010 08:40:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:84006c5a-0d81-46dd-9529-137d4bc9a6b3larsodaYeah, I tried using the &quot;search&quot; feature, but couldn&#39;t come up with the right combination of words to get me to what I was looking for.:worms::frustrated: I also hate drills, but I currently don&#39;t have access to a coach with much experience, so I thought I&#39;d take a stab at fixing it myself. I&#39;ll look into getting video of a couple laps. It might be my imagination.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/152145?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 06 Oct 2010 08:01:28 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6fa123bd-7d0b-4034-8aea-05f04073c329__steve__Lead with fingertips<div style="clear:both;"></div>
