Getting your hand entry right in freestyle can make or break your stroke efficiency. In this clip, you’ll see two common mistakes: entering the water too flat (which causes a splashy, momentum-killing drag) and leading with the elbow (which throws off your timing and puts strain on the shoulder). Both may feel fast—but they’re slowing you down. Watch closely as the correct example shows a clean, correct entry: fingertips first, just in front of the shoulder line, with the elbow slightly higher.

During freestyle hand entry, your hand should enter the water cleanly and extend forward underwater in a straight line toward the front (not upward or downward). Once the hand enters, it should follow the line of the body and prepare for the catch phase — not break upward toward the surface. ❌ Common Mistake: Some swimmers mistakenly let their hand rise or drift upward after entry, which causes: • Inefficient movement • Loss of propulsion setup • Extra drag #Swimming #swimgym #swimlife #swimrun
