This is how you do a high elbow recovery

[@elevatedxconscience]

Thank you for clarifying this!!

[@revlerie]

I personally thought that high elbow really meant to the sky... no wonder it always felt wrong to my joints. Thank you, ill try this out next session!!

Gonna admit it, joined ES watched the principles videos, did 1km of drills same day and this morning did a 2.4km 100s holding 1.20 on 1.35, comfortably!

Why is the second swimmer rotating his left side so much?

Flat elbow recovery always makes me unconfortable 😅

[@andreizelchenko934]

Coaches really irrirate with a "high elbow" 🤨. While at competitions sportmen always use low ❗ elbow. High elbow appears only in windmill sprint with straight arms in recovery. Coaches also do not tell that if you do not have shoulder mobility high elbow leads to injury. High elbow is for the kids schools where they are flexible, but nobody wants to adapt teaching to different age groups.

Good elbow position is the same for both. Perhaps work on your knowledge before shitting on coaches.

[@andreizelchenko934]

@@Queenfisher444 even you mentioned "good elbow", which is not outdated "high elbow". I had years of practice with different coaches to tell that they all teach a school program for all age groups, which I think is wrong and lead to injuries.

@@andreizelchenko934you’re 100% wrong mate. Good elbow position of occurs when the shoulder fully retracts. This is the same in all good freestyle. If you’re getting injuries you have bad mechanics, it’s nothing to do with swimming.

@@andreizelchenko934I agree that that in groups they ignore individuality, and try to reach optical conformity. It’s a typical temptation because we are all desensitized to ‚feel‘ how another life form is moving. Like in this video you see all the time ‚High Elbow Recovery‘ in big letters and I though: „What? I just learned that the arm should be loose, lead by the elbow and the shoulder should retract.“ But actually that‘s exactly what is said, but visually it’s all the *opposite*
