KEY THOUGHTS
Reach and roll -
Reach forward under
the water and allow
the body to roll with
that movement.
Anchor the catch -
Ensure as you start
your underwater
stroke that your hand
is in a stable postition
(thumb slightly pointed
down and elbow up)
anchored against the
water.
Roll - The body over
the arm rather than
pull the arm under the
body
Feel - resistance or
pressure against your
hand and forearm
throughout the
stroke.
Accelerate - the hand
speed progressively
throughout the
stroke.
