Pan Zhanle holds the 100m freestyle world record, making him the fastest human in history over that distance. If you want to drop time, you need to study his flawless hand entry.
What makes his catch so fast:
Zero Bubbles: His entry is incredibly smooth, ensuring he doesn't pull any air down into the water with his stroke.
Fingertips First: His middle and ring fingers pierce the water first for a perfectly clean entry.
Maximum Alignment: This precision allows him to reach full extension directly in front of his shoulderβcreating the ultimate line for speed and power.
