Freestyle Hand Entry - Your Going The Wrong Way

Edit



Actually it's the same for whatever stroke.
If your manus doesn't displace into at the right angle the H2O is pushed the incorrect agency as well as plant against your frontward motion.

Example 1: if your manus is apartment to the H2O when it enters non entirely does it tend to splash the water, which is wasted energy, but likewise every bit your manus continues inwards the stroke it is forcing H2O downwardly to the bottom of the pool, non dorsum to your feet which is what yous desire to displace yous forward.

Example 2: if your manus enters the H2O facing away from your trunk when it enters the water, its rootage drive inwards the H2O is inwards that direction. Thus instead of your fist drive beingness a trace that propels yous forward, it is a sideways force as well as yous are propelled diagonally. This is wasted energy.

Example 3: if your manus enters the H2O facing inwards towards your caput the exact reverse to Example ii occurs. Instead of pulling frontward yous are 1 time again moved sideways inwards the reverse management to Example 2.

Until your stoke reaches the betoken where yous are moving the H2O to your feet, your stoke is wasting energy.

Ideally yous should live on working towards your manus entry beingness only at the destination of your caput if non at your ear amongst your pollex beingness the rootage utilisation of your manus to enter.

Fig.1

Once inwards the H2O yous should flatten your manus as well as force it every bit far to the front end of yous every bit yous tin keeping it every bit roughly the surface every bit yous tin without breaking the surface.

When your arm is fully extended yous should loving cup your manus as well as scoop towards the centre of your body. Continue the motility downwardly the centre trouble of yous body.

Fig.2

For a novel swimmer your manus should proceed downwardly by your hips until it exits the H2O at your thighs.

Fig.3

If yous never permit your manus overstep the centre of your trunk yous should ever live on pushing or pulling forward.
