Great video! Momentum isn't taught as much as it should be, and you gave a solid explanation of both how and why.

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

I agree with you: too undervalued! And thank you for the comment ;-)

[@trn8061]

Agreed.

[@richardtrass]

Great video as usual

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Thx a lot !

I think I was 5 when I started swimming, which would have been 1955. When I took swim lessons, they wanted us to enter the water wider than our shoulders, sweep to the middle, and then flare out wide before the recover. I think the idea was that by making a longer arm pull, you got more distance per stroke. I swim over arm side stroke, the 'forgotten' stroke, and since I am on my side, I see every thing in the pool. There are many who still swim that way. I also see a huge number of people who do a funny S curve pull about mid way through their stroke. As one coach/video said, that just is not efficient. I don't really understand that palm up extension thing you do. Makes no sense to me, but who knows, it may help some. For sure, getting that full extension is important. More so for distance swimming and less so for sprint. Ariarne has an unusual stroke. She is more the traditional even stroke timing compared to the gallop style which is an uneven stroke like Katie or Summer, and all of the male swimmers. The breathing arm stays extended for a slight bit before the other side catches up, then a quick 1, 2 pull. This actually puts you slightly underwater for the less drag/bow wave/surface tension.

Thx for your comment. The palm up is "just" THE drill for the full reach (far in front) ;-) No need to understand, it's about feeling

After the good momentum (pull) is a glide that will give you streamline spear like aligned body.

Titmus, have a good bilateral breathing

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Effectively !

[@brigitt8149]

Seriously, you don't mean "dislocate". I think it could be replaced by "turning"

S pull? Don't your hands slide instead of push?

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

S-pull is a consequence, not the intention. Do I answer your question?

[@snowpants2212]

I think "pull your hand under your body" is clearer than "pass over your stroke"

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Maybe, i'm not very good in english ;-) Why do you think that? Please explain

[@trn8061]

I disagree, after coaching many swimmers. Some at a very high (National) level who have been told about their catch and pull the majority of the time, to speak of the overwater is a revelation and makes things click for many.

[@snowpants2212]

@@TheFRENCHSwimCoach Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "pass over your stroke." But I thought you meant something like "don't pull too far outside your body line." Is that right? It just wasn't clear to me what part of me is doing the "passing" and what constitutes my "stroke." My guess was that it's my torso doing the "passing" and that my "stroke" is my hand during the pull.

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

@@trn8061 "overwater" for U, is "pass over" for me ?

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

@@snowpants2212 I mean: your body should pass over your hand (especially when the hand is/must be vertically aligned with the shoulder).
