The Waiting Hand
Description: During freestyle swimming, one arm stays by the body while the other completes a full arm stroke.
Technical Goal: Control of the recovery phase and shoulder rotation.
Coach’s Message: “One works, one waits!”
Game: Switching like a traffic light.
Execution:
- Slow rhythm.
- Focus on high elbow and shoulder rotation.
- The coach demonstrates the movement.
Progression: Perform a longer stroke without increasing speed.
Observe:
- No rotation → “Rotate the shoulder!”
- Rushing → reduce speed
