Zitat von Skunkworks

Schau mal hier bei 3, 4, 5 ob die Hand knickt: ::KLICK::

Das ist
1. von 2002 und
2. kein Beweis dafür, dass es für jeden richtig so sein muss.

Der S-Pull wurde früher auch als das non plus ultra gelehrt. Bis man es besser wusste.



Vor allem der letzte Satz liest sich für mich sinnhaft:


"3. INITIAL CATCH TECHNIQUE

At full reach and without dropping your elbow, feel like you are tipping your finger-tips over the front of a barrel (again flexing at the wrist), which will start the catch.

At the same time start bending the elbow and pressing back on the water with the forearm in a near-vertical position.

This is what keeping your elbows high on the catch is all about.

A memorable way to think about this action whilst you are swimming is to visualise a smiley face drawn on the palm of your hand. As you start the catch, tip your finger tips down and show that smiley face on your palm to the wall you just left. This is like locking your hand in place, effectively feeling-the-water.

You will now be pressing the water back behind you rather than pushing it down."
