My favorite is the breaststroke. Free style, there's just too much to think about. thank you for the helpful tips.

You are very welcome 😁

very informative.

Some coaches teach high elbow pull (fingers facing the floor of the pool) engaging lats instead of the pull you are showing. Can you please clarify which is better ?

[@AaquaticsUK]

This can cause excess rotation in the shoulder and cause drag when returning the hands to the neutral position. Better to not fight the water and keep as efficient as possible, to ensure a sustainable stroke over hundreds (or thousands) of repetitions

Some coaches say you should not go wide with your arms...make it a small circle in front??

[@AaquaticsUK]

Yes as I mention, we don’t want to create too big a circle in front of you. A reasonable size, but definitely don’t let your arms go behind your shoulder line when pulling back! 👍

[@michelinesantucci4474]

The pull he is showing is much better.
