THE BIG IDEA

"If you have powerful hip rotation you'll be a lot stronger than if you're swimming with your arms and legs. The power transfers through the upper body." Richard Quick

Successful freestyle is applying a rotating force (your hips) to a fixed object (your leading hand at the catch). Let your leading hand glide forward in the water (little finger down), reset your hips vertical, then bend your wrist slightly and turn your hips quickly into the catch.

Think less of your arms and more of your hips. Where your hips go, you go.

Make a commitment to hip rotation.
