The arms should be straight during the recovery phase (when they come out of the water), as it creates less resistance and keeps the movement smooth. However, under the water, some swimmers naturally bend their arms slightly during the pull to maximize power. It’s all about finding a balance that works for the swimmer while maintaining efficiency. If you’re working on your backstroke, keep experimenting-you’ll find what feels natural for you! 😊
Please clarify my doubt, my question is for freestyle, I learned breathing for free style I couldn't go straight my freestyle move is going diagonally, I don't know what mistake I am doing please explain, I am watching your videos regularly . Please
Thank you so much for watching my videos regularly-it means a lot! Here are a couple of things to try: 1️⃣ Focus on keeping your head steady while breathing. If your head turns too far or too quickly, it might throw off your alignment. 2️⃣ Check if one arm is pulling harder than the other. Try to make each arm movement as even and controlled as possible. 3️⃣ Lastly, make sure your kick is steady-sometimes a flutter kick helps maintain a straight path. Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this-it’s a common challenge! Keep practicing, and I’m here cheering you on. Let me know how it goes!
@RocketSwimming Thanks a lot for your kind explanation, sure definitely I will focus on my head position flutter kick and arm pulling. Thank you for your regardless time. Your swimming coaching method is really helpful for my daily routine 😊

are arms kept straight throughout the whole backstroke, some swimmers seem to bend their arms on the return?
