All-Strokes - Simple Streamline

This simple skill is quite possibly the MOST important skill in all of swimming. While I know we've covered this before, after spending the summer coaching young swimmers at swim camps, it can't be stressed enough.

Can some one plz reply me. I am now older, i am 20 years old. And I have a problem with streamlining, i can easily put my arms behind my head but that make my chest go up, making my back curve. i looked into the mirror. that is not streamline at all. I can't open my armpit like those great swimmers. I have been training on my shoulder flexibility for quite a long time. what else can i do to improve my range of motion??

@MarineKingPride  - Obviously daily stretching is going to help. Until then, you're right, streamline is more than just the narrow shape the hands create. The important hing is that the hands and elbows stay within the width of the body and have a straight line to them. Sometimes locking thumbs together rather than overlapping the hands. This may allow your head to come up a bit between the arms, and allow the back to be straighter. May be better, worth a try.

The swimmer's position is not horizontal during push-off (the legs are higher). Is it right?

[goswim098]

@arman27harp - It's pretty common that when you're working on holding the streamline for longer than normal, the legs will rise. Don't forget, you'll never be holding this long in a competition. Either the dolphin or flutter kick will start, or the breaststroke underwater pull.

If someone tells you that you look like superman coming off the walls, it is not a complement.

@goswim098 at the end of the streamline the upper body begins to rise. see 1:39. The upper body is more buoyant than the legs in most males. The lower upper body at the beginning of the glide is due the swimmer angling his body in a slightly downward direction.
