High elbow catch is slow!!!

The High Elbow Catch in Swimming
The high elbow catch is a vital technique used in freestyle to increase the propulsive phase of the stroke and decrease drag. But if you are sprinting, you should use a straight arm freestyle because it is faster and has way more power.

Great advice sir thank you!❤

The only problem I’ve noticed with the windmill strategy is when your using that much energy, you can get tired pretty quickly, although it’s a good stroke for something like a 100-200, I personally would do my stroke a bit faster paced for anything under a 100, and have a fast paced stroke, but keep it easy for anything longer than a 200

And… you mess up your shoulder too
Plus with a 200 tempo
Your body would bounce up and down instead of going forward
Windmill is great for short sprints

I specifically said from one side of the pool to the other.

It's a 50m free stroke. No more than that.

No, not a good stroke for a 100-200. It's for a 50.
