Video insights

@swimsy.co's TikTok video "❌ Wrong: Catch with a raised shoulder ↓ • Shoulder lifts up to start the catch • Then you pull with the elbow instead of engaging the forearm • The arm straightens without creating a strong hold on the water • The hand turns sideways instead of staying aligned with the forearm and the direction of the pull What happens: • You lose your hold on the water • Less water is pushed backward • The stroke becomes weaker and less efficient • You spend energy without creating enough propulsion This is why your arm can be moving through the water without actually moving your body forward efficiently. ✅ Correct: Catch with the forearm • Keep the shoulder stable and relaxed • Bend at the elbow to set the forearm into the catch • Use the forearm and hand together to hold the water • Extend the arm toward the hip while keeping the hand aligned with the forearm What changes: • You create a stronger hold on the water • You push more water backward • The stroke becomes more powerful and efficient • More of your effort moves your body forward Think: not “lift the shoulder and pull with the elbow”, but “set the forearm, hold the water, and push it toward your hip” Save this - a better catch can completely change your freestyle. #swim #swimtips #swimcoach" has 169,371 views, 4,037 likes, 13 comments, 416 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
