3 TIPS TO PULL MORE WATER - are your arms slipping?

In our latest swim analysis, we brought in a fellow masters swimmer who moves through the water quickly by spinning her arms fast. The goal here was to look critically at what was preventing an optimized pull. We narrowed this down to 3 things:
1) front end / catch - get your fingertips pointed down ASAP
2) back end / finish - move water past your hips
3) hip rotation - get on your side in one fluid rotation

thanks, great comments

[@claudiosoares6422]

thank you. this is great

[@dermotgoodwin5879]

This is so good 😄

[@christopherdoyle4129]

90% of swimmers don't have or will never get the flexibility in the shoulders to get the high elbow position in the image at 2:33. And that's the main problem with high elbow catch. You can't get the high elbow until the torso is almost flat in the water with the recovery arm about to enter the water which is what is a 'front quadrant' catch up style stroke which works for elite swimmers because their kick doesn't allow them to 'slow down' during the recovery phase and they avoid the dead spot which happens when the front extended arm is waiting for the body to turn (and the recovery arm to enter the water) to start the catch and get the high elbow. That's why it is imperative to have a good body position during the recovery phase of the stroke.

[@Chris-ou6of]

No one has ever explained the pushing back of water had no clue.

[@bhargavdabhi1921]

Thanks

[@speedo1105]

excellent

[@FunkyFaulc]

I was like ... I know that voice. Then I saw Jenna and knew it was Miguel. Nice video! My swim is pretty bad. This gave me some good visual queues for future use.

[@christopherdockstader16]

Question, yeah, but not about these, if that is okay. Fingers a little separated is ideal?

[@sjdj3000]

@3:58 you put your brakes on by having your hand pointed up not neutral or slightly down.

[@MrChrissyBeech]

With both hands.

[@vijaykumartukaram1949]

While pushing back the water whether we have to touch our thighs every time?

[@robohippy]

Her head position is a bit high some times. Also interesting where she rotates her palm as she finishes the stroke. Without exception, every single back stroker does this, and the finish part of the stroke goes straight down to the bottom of the pool, rather than back to the wall. Am I the only one that notices this? My stroke is the over arm side stroke.

[@caleyachettyurmeela1645]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-lq9yh9hr2c]

good good ^^~

[@lpabildgaard]

What's with your water brake ;-) ? 3:57

[@irajtakbarzadeh8494]

U good coch

[@matthewconner5378]

Who's Jenna?

[@hungrydave1977]

Who is this Jenna?

[@udayanmustafi3963]

🏊🏼‍♂️🏊🏻‍♀️

[@mktsp2]

Excellent except the fact that you explain too little the drills, so we are not sure what the technique required exactly is.

[@LaurieAddoms]

Your wrist is dropping on entry and causing a braking action.

[@goodnatureart]

Coach: just say she has a great catch and here are some tweaks.

[@noahchristie5267]

Not a straight pull back! Pull at a slight angle, catch that still water!
