“Tension in your recovery? That’s energy wasted — let’s fix that for good.” In glide freestyle, every movement should be effortless — and that includes the arm recovery. If you’re stiff or over-controlling the motion, you’re not just wasting energy — you’re breaking the rhythm. The solution? Let the recovery flow.

Initiate the Catch: Timing Is Everything in Glide Freestyle “Gliding isn’t just about extending forward; it’s about knowing precisely when to initiate the catch. Mistime it, and you disrupt your flow; time it right, and you harness the water’s momentum.” Key Points: •Feel the Momentum: After your hand enters the water, extend forward and feel the natural propulsion. •Initiate the Catch Before Deceleration: Begin your catch just as you sense the glide’s momentum waning, ensuring a smooth transiti
