This is Part 2 of "Mastering Freestyle in 5 Steps": Arm Rotation.
If you are having trouble with arm rotation, try practicing these three things step by step!
1. When pushing the water with your arms, do not apply force in front; instead, apply force with impact when pushing backward.
2. When pushing the water backward, extend the hand already outstretched forward further to rotate your body naturally.
3. Practice what we learned last time: stand up while kicking sideways, wait 3 seconds for your left arm, and 3 seconds for your right arm, then alternate between them!
If you master these three things well, you will definitely be able to perform smooth freestyle arm rotation instead of a frantic, rushed one! Trust me and give it a try!
