When you pull back your arm, do you pull back all the way?
I have 2 different advice now, lifeguard tells me to pull down all the way back and then raise elbow to strike water.
Coach says to pull 1/2 or 3/4 then raise elbow and strike water.
~.~
Anyone?
this is how i interpreted.
lifeguard - was just trying to tell you the best and most efficient method. do it once, do it good and its better than doing half fark strokes many times.
coach - was trying to get you comfortable with the main stroke movements. i think he'll fine tune your strokes when you are more proficient by asking you to pull all the way back when you look more comfortable.

depends ifs its for racing ba... for racing i think not all the way...cos if u pull all the way back u tend to swing arm wider like windmill... your elbow is suppose to be higher than hand if u pull all the way i find it difficult to do... u suppose to have that weaving motion as your hand hit water, u dun have to dig deep cause tats waste of energy....
