Lol, The most insightful video about the catch I've ever seen, this is exactly the biggest problem of the catch - balance

[@sergioagustindevita5668]

Great video! Please keep them going!

[@TheElectra5000]

That introduction... 😅😅 I'm surprised you didn't put a guy drowning at the end... 🤣🤣

[@paulhuntswim]

Not drowning bro. The swimmer is frustrated and screaming obscenities under water so know one else can see or hear. Thanks for watching! Sorry for long response time I wasn't paying attention this.

[@mecheil2000]

Your vedio is totally great...as well the most important point you highlited is integration between shoulder rotation and Kicks ...this very tricky and really you explain it very well...... Million thanks to you again.....

[@paulhuntswim]

[@mecheil2000]

As well @2:48 ...you can see impressive position for path way of the water...by catch and pushing water back ...now this position reduce resistance between water going back and the body of swimmer ...which enhance movement forward with less water resistance and fast pass for the water that is going back by crawling ...
