Technique

Streamline and push-off

All strokes

You leave the wall in a long, narrow shape with your hands together and your head between your arms.

Keep in mind

  • Hands together
  • Head between arms
  • Long off the wall

Warm-up drills

Easy push and glide

With your coach watching, push gently from the wall and glide in a long shape without holding your breath.

Ask the coach

What changes would make my swimmer’s push-off shape more consistent?
