Swimming Tips

For those that missed the workout where we watched Phelps & Thorp swim - here it is again.

Few things to watch for:
1. Rotation of the body on the axis (this maximizes the stroke extension)
2. Arms - 45 degree angle under the body for the catch
3. Lower back – slightly arched this brings the hips up
4. Kick- straight legs with pointed toes, just the heals come out of the water
