HOW and WHERE your hand exits changes how well you can set up your catch. The most common mistake I see is the palm of the hand, turning inwards early and exiting at all before the hip. Instead, keep the palm facing towards your feet, and exit past your hip, which helps drive your opposite arm forwards and into the catch. try the 5-day catch challenge for only $10 for more tips like this.

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

Your hand entry sets up your entire pull. Enter too wide or too narrow and you create drag before you even start pulling. Enter in line with your shoulder, fingers first, slice through quietly.

The hand enters the water with a slightly bent arm, at approximately three quarters of your arm’s length. The second visualisation is to imagine that as the hand enters the water, middle finger first, it slots into a rail that pulls the hand forward and in a straight line with the shoulder. Keep visualising that the power of the rail pulling you forward rotates the opposite shoulder and hip out of the water. This is great technique. It promotes a great catch and prevents shoulder injuries. Two v

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.
