freestyle changelog


  1. before the arm pull, twist the waist just a little earlier to make space for the upper body twist, and at the same time use the energy from the twisting waist to power the wing and shoulders to complete the arm pull motion.

freestyle changelog


  1. Felt my wings yesterday. While pulling with the arms, pull the water in, widening the shoulders enough so that the remaining pull can be done with the energy from the waist, using the entire wing area to sweep the water backwards while rotating and keeping the whole shoulder blade poised.

  2. This uses less arm muscle, but more back and wing muscle. The temptation would be to use more arm muscle but that would degenerate pretty easily...
