@superdave31 Theres a lot of science involved in the sport of swimming. The basics is more propulsion less drag. Propulsion from hands and feet and drag that comes with everything that is in the water moving including the actual arm which is pulling. The pulls can become as complicated as anything gets.

@TheWTFers yeh i have always struggled with swimming. I realised 1 bit i was going wrong was that i wasnt pushing me arms back far enough, i kept lifting my arms out of the water too early. So i might try that 1 day.. but in general ive given up on swimming lol as the technique kept doing my head in! I even think my physique may make me slow as i am not naturally skinny haha
