Lazy Unilateral Recovery Swim Stroke Revealed By Paddles

 

Hi folks,

I was swimming with my nice new yellow paddles the other day and noticed that from time to time my left paddle would touch the water. The impact of this contact was considerable, almost tugging the paddle off of my hand, disrupting my stroke. Diagnosis - lazy left arm recovery causing my elbow to drop too low. This is a nice example of the value of paddles in the diagnosis of defects in your technique.

Simple but effective.

Today’s workout:

Z2 run - this is moving to pavement now with pacing. Sundays are the day to start measuring speed and progress at steady Z2 HR
