Stop dropping your elbows in breaststroke!!
If you are dropping your elbows during your pull, you are missing out on massive power in the water.
A lot of swimmers only pull the water with the small surface area of their hands. When you drop your elbows, you completely miss out on the early vertical forearm catch and fail to engage your strong back muscles to pull yourself forward.
Here is how to maximize your power and swim faster:
High Elbows: Focus on keeping your elbows high right from the start of your catch.
Use Your Forearms: You need to pull the water with your entire forearm, not just your hands.
The Giant Paddle: When you keep your elbows up, your hand and forearm act together as one giant paddle to scoop massive amounts of water.
