This is where it's decided whether the force generated, for example, in the latissimus dorsi, finds its way into the levers. But power transmission isn't the only important factor. Individual reach is also crucial. Only those who enter the recovery phase of the crawl with a long, relaxed arm will be able to utilize their leverage to its fullest potential. We need a long, extended lever at the beginning of the underwater movement to optimally initiate the pull phase. If, however, the recovery phase is difficult, for example, due to a lack of mobility, or simply inflexible due to insufficient shoulder joint mobility, then it's essential to address this. And this can be achieved on land with relaxed arm swing exercises. In the water, especially during extended warm-up swims, the exercise presented in this tip will prove helpful. This exercise involves a form of exaggeration in the recovery phase. The arm is swung forward in a straight position into the support phase to mobilize the shoulder joints and generate the necessary range of motion. Practical Tips Pay attention to the following points: Straightened arm movement Relaxed swing from the shoulder joint Relaxed wrist Letting the arm drop onto the water's surface With these tips, you'll have the best prerequisites for a technically sound training session. For the Training Session Complete this exercise as part of your extended warm-up routine. Optionally, use short fins to further emphasize relaxation. Optionally, use a swimmer's snorkel to allow for a more pronounced swing from the shoulder joint. Now, dive right into the video and have fun putting it into practice in the water!
