@markus_marthaler: Freestyle rotation refers to the synchronized movement of your hips, torso, and shoulders along your body's longitudinal axis during your freestyle stroke. The key to effective freestyle swimming lies in your ability to rotate these parts of your body together in one seamless motion with every stroke. It's rare to find swimmers who overdo body rotation in freestyle swimming. More often than not, swimmers need to enhance their rotation or correct imbalance on one side. Nevertheless, body rotation plays a vital role in mastering the freestyle stroke technique and is seen as a fundamental aspect of proficient freestyle swimming. The significance of freestyle rotation is underscored by three main points: 1. Averting injury and facilitating easier arm recovery Maintaining a flat position in the water and executing arm recovery places strain on your shoulder, particularly on your rotator cuff muscles. This can be mitigated with proper body rotation. 2. Achieving a lengthier, more efficient stroke Optimal rotation enhances your reach. By rotating from one side to the other, you can extend your reach further, creating more power with each stroke. Initiating your catch phase earlier with an extended arm enables you to cover more distance with each stroke, reducing the number of strokes needed per lap. 3. Leveraging your core and back muscles for power When you rotate between sides in freestyle swimming, you distribute power from your arms and shoulders through your core, back, and chest muscles. These muscles, some of the most powerful in a swimmer's body, can thus help generate more force. #swimbikerun #swimming #triathlon #natation #nage #nager #swim #nageur #switzerland #suisse #montagne #mountains #openwaterswimming #stroketechnique #swimming🏊 #ironmanswim #swimminglove #swimmingaddict
