Dave talks good. However, most of the videos do not show hand movement (that i believe he intends to show). Wrist neutral and extension position comments (in other of his video) contradict each other!
I don't remember you or Jerry Rodriguez, telling the importance of the resistance cords training twice a week for 20-30 minutes, simulating the pull pattern as she does. I've been doing almost for a month now and the impact is fenomenal, I didn'texpect that much of a difference, esp intermediate swimmers struggling to improve like me, PLS DO A FAVOUR TO YOURSELF AND GET A SET OF THOSE CORDS (increase the tension slowly as you get used to) AND START EVF PULLS IMMEDIATELY
What can l say Dave. Twenty years ago l was a competitive age group triathlete and l devoured your book ( as well as Scotts and Marks). Now as l return to the pool/ ocean to compete as a open water swimmer, you are there to show me practical, sensible technique that has already had an impact in the water for me. All l can say is. Thank you. You are the man.
What would be very helpful, at least for me, is to identify the muscles being used in the pull pattern & what percentage they are used during that part of the stroke. Example lats – 50%, triceps – 20%, delts – 15% etc or whatever those numbers are.
If I get a better understanding what muscles are being used & especially the ones that may be over used, it would help me correct my mistakes using the dry land exercises & in the pool. It is like lifting weights correctly at the gym.
All of that said, this was great & very useful information – thank you!
If you keep your wrist neutral, won't you be pushing water down at the start of the stroke, and some water up at the end of the stroke, losing lots of energy?
I thought you wanted to push the water straight back if possible.
Sir how can i join your swimming club?
I wanted to know when to start pulling? Is the force continuous.
1:55 – "If you look at her fingers…"
Um, no.

Ok thanks, that clears up a lot of my questions. Looking forward to trying this out.
Couldn't concentrate on the girl's stroke… she's just too cute! 🙂
Thanks Dave for the great videos!

Where can I get that resistance band?
Igor, I'm glad these drills worked for you and keep showing your friends…… they may apply it!

Impressing myself and my peers at the pool with these skills
We learned a lot today. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, very helpful
