I have been searching for a video regarding this aspect of my stroke. Finally found a truly perfect explanation and tutorial. Thank you so much. This has probably saved 5 seconds on my 100 through 1500.
Glad to hear James!
Man, this aspect of swimming has been so difficult for me to properly achieve. I exit too early and miss out on the benefits of this aspect of freestyle technique. This is by far the best video explaining this phase of the stroke. Much appreciated! Thank you for the work you guys put into this one.
This hyper extension makes a lot of sense to me. I come from a flat water paddling background. We are taught that the stroke ends at the hip when viewed from the side. This is because the instance the paddle comes past perpendicular (hip area) in the water, one is actually lifting water toward the surface and thus slowing you down. This is the reason sup and canoe paddles angle forward creating this hyper extension. This in turn gives you more power in the sweet spot of the power phase. Dave knows what he's talking about !
Perfect video Dave. Very thorough explanation, and filming, W/O lots of filler. Quick and to the point. Thanks.
Awesome!! I’ve never had a swimming lesson. Started watching your videos. I’ve been working on the 11 and 1 entry and was doing the S thing underneath. Will definitely work on this underwater pull method. Thanks!
Keep it rocking!
Mr Dave scott, i really appreciate your time making these videos.I like your style ,your language your logic. Thanks from Syria.
Thanks!
Perfect explanation, thank you Dave.
Awesome video and advice! Makes sense that changing the wrist angle causes the palm of the hand to continue pushing the water back. On the contrary, flicking the wrist causes the wrist to push water up, which doesn't help.
thanks for your helping video.
Excellent. Saved in my swim videos library to rewatch and remind.
THX sir, I am Fall in swimming-Love from my childhood. Now I can try to use your adveisment in Fitness for more enjoying in swimming.
A good finish makes it easier to lift your shoulder above the water which in turn makes recovery easier and your overall stroke more efficient.
You are the Best.
Great point
I'm a new swimmer only learnt 3 months ago but my technique is so much better than those that have been swimming for years thanks to some of your videos and other coaches on CZcams.
Keep it up!
thanks mister Dave Scott, are good advices for to swim better
Thank you.. improve alot after seeing your video....
Thanks so much! I've been wondering about this. Love your videos. They're helping me a lot.
Peter Pan, glad you enjoyed the video. I'll have a whole slew of upcoming videos on biomechanics. Stay tuned. Dave
Out of all the videos I have seen on arm stroke technique, I think this is the only one I have seen that mentions the finish. I saw it on some body product advertisement on a sports channel where the swimmer was using a very obvious flick at the end. When I mentioned this observation to a lap pal, she said 'oh yea, that is called the finish'. The way I try to explain the entire arm stroke is to bring up the sand pile/box that we have all played in. You are on hands and knees. You have a pile of sand in front of you and a hole out behind you, not at your feet, but a few feet behind you. Extend, catch with hand going to back hoe mode, pull, push, then a little whip at the end to send the sand back to the hole. If you flex the wrist too much, you end up with sand on your back, and in your britches.... This flex is wasted motion, and I do quote the Devo song about 'You must whip it, whip it good!' It is a very subtle move...
Nicely done Kelsey
It's basic hydrodynamics; however, most "serious" swimmers sleep during school classes.
