There are only two ways to swim faster. ✌️

Water is 800 times more dense than air. If you are fighting the water, you will lose every single time.

To drop time, you either need to decrease your drag (improve your body position) or increase your propulsion. Once your body is sitting high and flat on the surface, it is time to maximize your pull.

Here is the secret to elite propulsion across every single stroke:

⬇️ The Early Vertical Forearm (EVF): Drive your fingertips straight to the bottom of the pool right at the beginning of your stroke.

🌊 Maximum Surface Area: By dropping your hand and keeping your elbow high, you turn your entire forearm into a massive paddle to catch significantly more water.

🚀 Forward Drive: Instead of your hand slipping backward, you anchor your arm and leverage your body position to launch yourself forward.

🏊‍♂️ Universal Application: You need to initiate this exact mechanic whether you are swimming freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, or breaststroke.

Stop guessing your technique and start building real, effortless pulling power.
