Freestyle Swimming Pull | Lesson 5 | Hand-Exit Tradeoffs

Описание: One of the most important transition points is when your hand finishes the underwater propulsive phase and moves into the recovery phase. This transition point is critical because it allows for an effortless recovery when performed well.
To adequately perform this transition, during the last part of your pulling phase, think about pulling back and up, rather than just straight back.
As a good point of reference, your hands should finish your pull just past your hips. Your arm should not be completely straight at this point. #swimming #freestyleswimming
