Butterfly! Look for the levers in the body in this image.
All Strokes - Hand Instinct
Instinct is a tough thing to discover, and what you instinctively do with your hands can have a direct impact on your performance.
Butterfly - Perp Drill
If you've ever seen any TV police drama, there will be a scene where the suspect is placed against the wall, hands high, and pressed forward so the police can search him. This position just happens to be a great example of the press on butterfly.
Swimming Pic of the Week - April 28. 2011
While taking some pictures of the swimmers this morning, I found the following comparison pretty interesting.
Backstroke - Hand Entry Width
One of the biggest problems coaches and swimmers have to overcome with backstroke, is the overreach on the hand entry.
Backstroke - Not-Too-Soft Hand Entry
Swimming smooth and pretty sure looks good but, unfortunately, it's not always the fastest mode of transportation. How firmly you enter your hand in backstroke can determine how fast, or how efficient, you are.
Freestyle - Hand Entry - Sub for Pic of the Week
One of the first requests we received on the iPhone app, was to discuss, or illustrate, how the hand should enter the water on freestyle.
Swim Picture of the Week - December 24, 2009
Nearing the end of the year, this is just a reminder to keep reaching!
Freestyle - Above-Speed Catch
Moving fast through the water requires a couple things: a great catch and a high-speed turnover. Sometimes, the harder you try, the less return you get on the water. By using tools, this becomes easier to feel.
