Freestyle Mastery: Propulsion Series 4/4 - Anchoring

Welcome back to the 4th and last video in our Freestyle Mastery Propulsion series. I hope you have benefitted from the previous videos talking about switch timing, weight shift and 2-beat kick and have also put them to practice in the pool as well. Leave a comment below if they have made a difference in your swim! Today, we will talk about anchoring, which is an advanced but very important concept in swimming. Traditionally, the underwater stroke refers to the catch as your pull your arm back towards your torso, but Coach Tang has refined that concept to describe the motion of catching the water and pushing it back in an action similar to climbing over a rock using a fixed point for shifting your body weight. Watch this last video in the series to see how you can use your own body weight to create additional momentum.
