    COACHES TOP TIPS FREESTYLE JOL FINCK – NATIONAL COACH, BATH NATIONAL CENTRE 1. Set your body alignment to eliminate as much drag as possible E.g. Sun Yang (Picture 1) 2. Engage first quartile vertical forearm catch on breathing side E.g. Ian Thorpe & Grant Hackett (Picture 2) 3. Let the elbow take the weight of the wrist through the recovery phase E.g. James Guy (Picture 3) PICTURE 1 PICTURE 3 PICTURE 2 STEVEN TIGG – HEAD COACH, STIRLING PERFORMANCE CENTRE 1. The timing of the breathing must not compromise swimming speed and the swimmer must be competent using multiple patterns (Right/Left/Bi-lateral) 2. Use a 6 beat leg-kick that is elastic (Foot speed relates to stroke rate) 3. Lead the arm recovery with elbow and let the hand and wrist follow suit. E.g. James Guy (Picture 3 above), Grant Hackett (Picture 4) and Michael Phelps (Picture 5) PICTURE 5 PICTURE 4 DAVE MCNULTY – LEAD COACH, BATH NATIONAL CENTRE 1. Develop a great kick that can ‘go through the gears’ during a race E.g. Thorpe and Hackett (Picture 2 above) 2. Develop a great feel of the water, especially on the catch 3. Maintain a high elbow position throughout the pull creating the maximum amount of force E.g. Katie Ledecky (Picture 6) and Rebecca Adlington (Picture 7) PICTURE 6 PICTURE 7 KEVIN RENSHAW – PATHWAY IMPLEMENTATION MANAGER, BRITISH SWIMMING 1. Look down not forward!
