Great tip - I can attest to this from personal experience. When I changed my arm recovery technique it fixed my slight crossing over of the hand at entry. Both my arms extend so much straighter at shoulder width now that I no longer worry about bad body alignment. Thanks for posting.
thanks for this video. after doing this drill my recovery feels so much more relax and pain free! it almost feels like I'm chicken winging during the recovery (due to my previous bad mechanics). I feel confident my scapular and shoulder pain on my left arm will be a thing of the past!
Thanks for professional explanation. It helps me avoiding overrotation. Could you do a film about breathing. It is my biggest problem. I get tired after 50 meters. Thanks.
Hay i am Urs from Switzerland , age 60 rookey in triathlon ( and english ) ! I try to explain may way to fix it ( resp. the best explanation i found in the net ..and for me best help and tip ..to move forward , ..but Corona stops my real training at the moment to much ,..to intergrate this in the hole swim ..You know ? I give You several points of interest or reverence points , to have a lock at it ! i start a bit earlier with explanation ...in my eyes very good swim teacher talk about ..You must learn to swim slowly ..that You are also be able to go fast ! Are You comfortable with breathing by it self ...means do You have no panic ..when You have the head under water ?...like me first time ...it was horrible ..the only thing i could think ..was , in need some air ..where i get enaugh air , ...it helped me a lot ...to stay in a no swimmer pool to try only , to make the correct arm moves , with head under water ....drill hours and hours ...to loose panic ..and feel save and feel more common and normal to have the head under water ...train and drill only normal freestyle breathing in this ( safe position ) Then from this point , is in my eyes a smal way , to integrate this movement in normal swim breathing und move forward ...this two points only have to find the right timing ..more or less ( if all other movements and body position ( streamline or arrow position is in the uper 80 or 90% ) To get the legs enaugh upwarts in streamline or arrow position it will helps a lot , to make your Core and ABS part of Your body much stronger ...by first lockdown ..i was very frustrated not be able to train ..means , be able to swim ...i was thinking ..how can i bring my legs upwards ..i am not able to bring my legs upwarts ( That was an other big problem at the beginn ...i had one or two privat lessions by a swim teacher but it didnt help a lot it was exacly the oposite ( if You cant find a person , able to catch and help You exactly at the point where You stay ..You kow ...if You breathing on the right side , every second stroke ...and the teacher say you have to learn left side for every 3 stroke breathing ..thats comletely shit ..i had to totally beginn from the first point ...was confused and quitt this shit teacher ...i only learn with YOU TUBE Clips and lock for some tips in the internet !!! Now my personal main problem is and was , breathing out , it seams to be more or less a secret , nobody likes to tell You realy , how it works , or is willing or able to explain it in a helpfull and correct way , ...i had to search long ...most people are talking ..to breath out with the nose ..but thats not 100% correct ...i had the feeling as more air i blow out ...i wouldnt have enaugh power ..against water presure to blow out all air i wandet to blow out by nose ...You know ? I had to search very long till i find a very good advice ...top swimmer , take air and hold it for around 2 Seconds (maybe with panic in the back head ..not to get or have enaugh air ..it helps in the no swimmer pool to exercise ...to hold the air longer time then 2 seconds , maybe 3 , 4, 5 , 6 then ,..blow out around 50 or maybe more % of the air by nose ...then the rest air over the mouth ...maybe 20 or 30 % i cant remember the right % but ..most people dont blow out 100 % ..what some people are talking about ...but it is also not good to blow out to less ...You know ? You can find out the right volume quite easy ...you breath normaly right now reading this , take air ...let it out ...then hold Your nose closed by hand then try to breath out by mouth , the rest air ...you will recognaise , that You normaly not breathing out 100% ...You always have a smal ..do we call it reserve in back ..You know ? What i will say is , you have to try to come as close as possible to normal breathing , when you swim freestyle ...and an other point is very very important too ...as more relaxed You are ...You will recognaise ..as better it goes and more success You will make ! Maybe an other point of interest could be to lock some good clips of TOP swimmers on YOU TUBE ( there is a TOP. of china by on a olympian race enaugh time under water movie to lock afther correct arm moves ect .) And before sleep You can make introspection ..feestyle swim...close Your eyes and look afther this perfect swim technic of the chinees ..deep inside You , it will copy that ...and You came closer to a perfect style ...You know ? Maybe to get more relaxed , some Qui Gong ...Yoga moves , ect show some breathing technic will help also to get more comfortable with the problem !!! (Other breathing timing exercises , maybe will also help , to solve that problem ...to become more comfortable , with a bigger time window , to be under water without " normal " breathing !!! Bat You will have to find YOUR. OWN. WAY. because every body is different .You know ? Have a lock at the You Tube Clips from Sun Yang under water picture from racing competitons Best wishes for Your. success ! Urs
Thanks for the clip. By the way I saw a clip you've posted about dryland practice for the catch and pull when you stand against the wall. However it was mute so I could not get much of it. Would be nice if you could have it fixed. Thanks
@@SWIMLABAustralia Plus I have not seen an instructional video especially about IT method on the degree of rotation of the hips relative to that of the shoulders. Would also be nice if you could have one on TH-cam. Thanks and have a nice weekend.
I always have had wrong had recovery, i never knew the correct instruction how to do it and i just forced the position to be able to use my lats but instead i got shoulder pain, over rotation and sinking legs. Do you have any video how to fix sinking legs?
To avoid sinking legs , it will help to imrove and make Your Core / ABS part of Your body much stronger ( helps me to come close to the uper 80% of a correct streamline or arrow position !!! It will help a lot !!! ) Best wishes for Your success !

That is great news! It will indeed reduce pain and allow a free flowing recover arm
this answer my question on why my shoulders hurt, i push my arm to far before the recover phase.
thanks for the feedback; pull too far passed the hip and many swimmers will stress their rotator cuff
thanks very much, there isn't a lot of this videos on TH-cam
Really great advices! Thanks so much
Best explanation ❤ thank you I am stuck since many month to this arm pull and breathing
That is great news! Hope you feel improvement
Love this. Thank you
Love this. Perfect demonstration and explanation. And, if you ever need to escape from prison through sewage pipes this might help.
Thanks for professional explanation. It helps me avoiding overrotation.

Then from this point , is in my eyes a smal way , to integrate this movement in normal swim breathing und move forward ...this two points only have to find the right timing ..more or less ( if all other movements and body position ( streamline or arrow position is in the uper 80 or 90% )
To get the legs enaugh upwarts in streamline or arrow position it will helps a lot , to make your Core and ABS part of Your body much stronger ...by first lockdown ..i was very frustrated not be able to train ..means , be able to swim ...i was thinking ..how can i bring my legs upwards ..i am not able to bring my legs upwarts ( That was an other big problem at the beginn ...i had one or two privat lessions by a swim teacher but it didnt help a lot it was exacly the oposite ( if You cant find a person , able to catch and help You exactly at the point where You stay ..You kow ...if You breathing on the right side , every second stroke ...and the teacher say you have to learn left side for every 3 stroke breathing ..thats comletely shit ..i had to totally beginn from the first point ...was confused and quitt this shit teacher ...i only learn with YOU TUBE Clips and lock for some tips in the internet !!!

Sure thing! I'll get on to that and do a fresh video!
