Hand Movements in Freestyle Swimming.

Somehow I have never been convinced with my freestyle swimming. I always keep on watching experts' videos on youtube. And this when I found a major flaw in my hand movements in freestyle swimming. To highlight this difference, I have taken the videos with both the styles.

Let me share both with u. I did this swimming in dark so kindly bear with little dark videos. I hope to capture some in light too :)

1) Wrong hand movements in Freestyle Swimming.



2) Correct hand movements in Freestyle Swimming


This is technically correct style but I still need to improve :) I guess I will never be satisfied with my freestyle till I swim like the TI coach in the below post :)

Since the second video is in length, I feel the width one is more clear.


Hope to swim more and better :)

This was a really interesting post! And here I was always thinking that freestyle meant just doing your own thing in the water!
