Swim Tip - Freestyle Mechanics

When using proper technique, your body will rotate 45 degrees along the longitudinal axis, and your middle finger will enter the water first.

Your neck should be held in the same position as if you were standing erect on dry land, with the water line in the middle of the top of your head.

The correct stroke pattern must be accompanied with equal body rotation to avoid shoulder injuries.

Your body should feel as if you were rotating on a barbecue skewer that goes through the top, center of the head and extends the length of the spine to between the ankles.

Using a pull buy or breathing every third stroke can help you practice body rotation.
