How Do You Swim Free Style Correctly?
• Pull with your arms, alternating left and right. As you pull one arm through the water, bring the other arm forward again above the water • When you pull, start with your arm straight out ahead of you just under the water. First pull your arm down, bending your elbow to keep your hand alongside your body or in front of your chest (don’t do a straight-armed “windmill” motion). As your hand goes past your waist, start straightening your elbow to keep pushing your hand down past your hips. Keep your fingers together and slightly bent to make a “cup” with your hand. • When you finish the stroke with one arm, bring it forward with your elbow out and up, and your hand just above the water as you pull with the other arm. • Roll your shoulders. When you pull, use your shoulders to reach farther. For example, when you pull with your right arm, roll your right shoulder forward and down as you put your arm into the water. Bend the right elbow roughly ninety degrees, cupping the palm of the hand
