obviously hacket and thorpe are doing the right thing....Coach Gadi should and will practice more :-)

Great Vid. You talk about 'Over the barrel' and that some swimmers have difficulties doing this as they don't rotate their humerous bone...is internal rotation of the humerous bad for the shoulder joint? Just asking because when I do this internal rotation for the catch I feel like the shoulder joint is being put under a lot of pressure (I'm a beginner swimmer btw).

[TotalImmersionIsrael]

@brooka70 Thank you! If you are a beginner our recomendation is not to practice EVF - this is the last thing you should do for polishing your stroke!

The internal rotation shouldn't cause any pain or discomfort - on the contrary. You're probably doing something not right. Pain and pressure are signs for improper technique...

Cheers

I'd echo the positive comments of the others; great video addressing an essential part of stroke mechanics.

What's the background music? I really like it.

[TotalImmersionIsrael]

@J0rgan Thanks!

The music is from a band names Circulation from their album Colours...

I never realized that I did this, but this is exactly the way I swim. I learned this technique from a coach who gave me the simplest explanation: pretend you are wrapping your arm around a barrel out in front of you. Nice vid.

[TotalImmersionIsrael]

Thanks! Over the barrel is the most common focal point. Some swimmers have difficulties doing this as they don't rotate the humerous bone...

[thegodphreaker]

Sorry, but how do you rotate a bone? That doesn't make sense.

or you can show your underarm hair to the world, before you enter your hand!

[losangelesrep]

Very nice and detailed. This was great!

[TheLeilisa]

swimming would help you grow taller ?

[Jerry1SKI]

Great video and graphics. It finally answered some questions for me about timing the beginning of the catch in relationship to the recovery (extension) of the other arm. Thank you, thank you

the bone is humerus.. not humerous.. the funny bone is another one !!!
