The Technique Secret Most Don't Understand! ✋🖐️ Unveiling the Finger Spacing Mystery to Up Your Swim by a Potential 2.5% Speed Gain!
🏊♂️ Dive into the fascinating world of swim biomechanics with Paul Newsome at Swim Smooth! 🌊
Ever wondered if you should swim with your fingers open, apart, or somewhere in between?
Today, Paul brings you a unique perspective, blending old English traditions, wet fish, and a simple visualization that guarantees improvement in your swimming technique.
In this video, Paul delves into the groundbreaking research from a 2012 Journal of Theoretical Biology article, exploring the optimal finger spacing for increased water force and speed. However, the question remains: is this the golden rule for everyone?
Join Paul as he analyzes the strokes of swimming legends like Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe, and Rebecca Adlington. While scientific findings provide insights, Paul challenges the notion that one-size-fits-all, emphasizing the importance of personal experimentation.
Discover a practical exercise from Swim Smooth's Catch Masterclass DVD that goes beyond finger spacing, addressing major stroke issues that might be holding you back. Paul demonstrates a unique hands-on test, showcasing the delicate balance between closed and open fingertips and its impact on propulsion.
Finally, learn the connection between an old English tradition, a wet fish, and effective swimming propulsion. Paul incorporates the concept of a "firm gentleman's handshake" to teach the right amount of hand tone, crucial for efficient swimming. Don't miss out on this exclusive blend of science, art, and practical wisdom that could revolutionize your swim technique!
