@swimgym_com: Swimming behind another person and ensuring your head pushes forward, without hitting their legs, is an effective way to check if your stroke mechanics are correct—particularly for hand entry and alignment. Here’s why it works and how to do it effectively: Why It Works Alignment Feedback: If your hand crosses the centerline upon entry, your head will naturally tilt or your body will fishtail, making it hard to maintain a straight push forward. Shoulder Width Awareness: By aiming to keep your hand entry at shoulder width, you'll avoid hitting their legs, promoting better form. Streamlining: It emphasizes keeping your body and head aligned, helping develop a better streamlined position. How to Perform This Drill Pair Up: Have a swimmer in front of you swimming at a slow, steady pace. Stay just behind them but close enough that you can make slight contact. Head Position: Keep your head still and aligned, lightly pressing on their feet or legs with your head as you swim. Focus on Form: Pay attention to your arm entry and ensure it's parallel to your shoulder line, not crossing over. Adjust Accordingly: If you feel yourself losing contact with their legs or hitting them awkwardly, reassess your entry path and body alignment. This exercise is great for freestyle technique refinement and helps eliminate common issues like over-rotation or poor alignment. #Swimming #swimgym #swimlife #swimrun #swimbikerun #openwaterswimming #swimmeme #swimmemes
