Front Crawl tips
To ensure you are squeezing the most out of your time in the pool here are a few advanced tips for improving your front crawl technique.
- When improving your Front Crawl technique aim to keep your body position as flat as you can to be streamlined in the water with a slight slope down to the hips to keep the leg kick underwater
- Try to keep your stomach flat and level to support your lower back.
- With eyes looking forward and down, your head should be in line with the body and the water level should come between your eyebrows and hairline.
- Try to keep your head and spine as still and relaxed as possible. Instead, rotate your hips and shoulders to generate momentum through the water. Your head should only join the rotation when you want to breathe
- Your shoulder should come out of the water as your arm exits while the other begins the propulsive phase under the water.
- The hips should not rotate as much as the shoulders.
