    I tried this tip in the water and noticed (at least) a 50% increase in speed. By raising the elbow during the pull, efficiency is automatically increased by deceasing the frontal drag. I understand the physics. THANKS race club.

    One can get away with a deeper, stronger pull for a 50...less a 100 and not after that. The frontal drag takes its toll.

    You cannot avoid a negative angle of the shoulder when you initiate the underwater pull if you are recovering with good body rotation. As the body counter rotates, the negative angle goes away in time for the propulsive phase of the pull.

    The higher the elbow, or the more in line with the body's motion, the less the frontal drag. The propulsive power is less there but the net speed is greater.
