Is it so obvious what this chapter is about?

Step 3 backstroke arm action? |
|
|
My hand exits the water pinky first :) |
|
|
Really? Hmmmmm. Been a long time since that's been taught. Any particular reason why? And just curious... Obviously many different ways to do everything. |

My coach teaches it this way. Good for me, because my brain cannot get the message what to do and messes up the entire stroke, when I try to go thumb first (and it hurts my shoulder). |

The perfect answer. If something hurts, manipulate how you do it so it doesn't hurt. Interesting the coach still teaches this... but if you have success with something... cool. Thanks for sharing. |

Masters swimmers may have learned (decades ago) to do an S-shaped arm pull in back, ending with thumb down, pinky up, and then to lift up the hand and arm from that position. |
|
|
uhm, doesn't the hand finish pinky up in any way?! |
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
