@swimsy.co: Straight arm = weak catch ↓ You think you’re pulling hard… But you’re losing water from the start of the stroke. ❌ Wrong — pulling with straight arms When the arm stays straight: • No real catch with the forearm • You press water down instead of holding it • Less propulsion with every stroke What happens: • You lose power • More effort, less speed • The stroke feels heavy but weak You’re moving water… not holding it. ✅ Correct — catch starts with the forearm At the start of the pull: • Slightly bend the elbow • Catch the water with the forearm • Imagine grabbing a big ball in front of you • Push that “ball” backward What changes: • Stronger propulsion • Better feel of the water • More efficient freestyle 💡 Simple cue: Forearm catches the water → push it back SWIMSY PADDLES - designed to build real feel of the water, not just strength. The soft resistance helps you understand how to hold and control water during the catch, so you stop slipping and start moving forward with each stroke.
