1. Keep Your Body Straight (Like an Arrow)
The Problem: If your body is not straight, you slow down in the water. It’s like trying to push a crooked board forward.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Keep your body as flat and straight as possible. Your head, hips, and feet should be aligned, just under the water surface.
𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱: Look at the bottom of the pool, not forward
𝗛𝗶𝗽𝘀 : Don’t let your bottom sink. Tighten your core to keep your hips high.
𝗙𝗲𝗲𝘁: Your feet should stay near the surface.
𝟐. 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: If you start pulling the water too early (near your head), you lose power.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Your hand must enter the water far in front of your head. Then your arm extends even more under the water before you start to pull. This is the “𝖈𝖆𝖙𝖈𝖍” phase.
𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆: Fingers enter first, palm facing down.
𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Stretch your arm under the water as if you want to touch the opposite wall.
𝟑. 𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐄𝐥𝐛𝐨𝐰 (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞)
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢: Many swimmers drop their elbow to pull. It’s like rowing with a small spoon. You don’t move much water.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This is the most important part for power! Keep your elbow higher than your hand while you pull the water toward your feet. Your hand and forearm form a big “paddle.”
𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲: You are passing your arm over a big ball in the water.
𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲: This is where you create 90% of your speed.
𝟒. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐏𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢: Stopping the arm movement too early is like stopping pedaling before the end of the push.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Your hand must push the water all the way to your thigh. The movement accelerates at the end. This final “push” propels you forward.
𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘁: Your thumb should brush your thigh when the hand exits the water.
𝟓. 𝐀𝐫𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲: 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢: Tensing your arm while it returns forward tires you out for nothing.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The return of the arm over the water (the recovery phase) should be relaxed. The elbow exits the water first, held high, and the hand follows, loose and relaxed.
𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗘𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘄: The elbow guides the arm’s return.
𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱:The hand should be loose, like it’s hanging.
