Millions of swimmers work on thier high elbow catch everyday. And almost none of theme know the three steps that actually fix it. THIS IS #24 MISTAKE OUT OF 30 IN THE FREESTYLE MISTAKE TIER LIST BY A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALIST. Every swimmer knows how high elbow catch matters. So they work on it constantly. But without understanding exactly why the elbow drops and the tree steps that prevent it. They are still staying slow. So here is three steps to fix it. And the first one is keeping your shoulder close to your cheek to link your body more streamlined. And also will put your shoulder in the right position. Step number two and the most important one is right before the catch rotate your shoulder inwards so your elbow will be able to point straight up. Because if your elbow there's no way you can do and your elbow will drop. And step number three use only your hand and forearm not your whole arm. Because the main purpose is to grab as much water as possible. But if you catch with the full arm the water will just slip through. This mistake goes at top at S tier. Because if your catch nothing else matters. You will stay slow compared to what you capable of and other small mistakes will start showing up. And if you want me to personally look at the way how you catch water small mistakes around it send your video inside Swim Success app where I personally review your stroke.
