A major discussion in the realm of swimming revolves around the ideal head position. We continue to observe a range of head positions across all four strokes. While we advocate for keeping the head lowered (as demonstrated by Dylan in this video), some swimmers achieve greater speed with their head angled slightly upwards (like Jerome). Undoubtedly, lowering the head minimizes drag, though it might affect the swimmer's strength or power compared to when the head is angled forward. We hold the view that practicing with a lowered head helps in building and mastering the ability to generate more power, ultimately leading to quicker swimming over time. Share in the comments section which head position you adopt and your reasoning for believing it's the fastest.
