In every sport, there are certain tricks that you learn by participating. For instance, every good basketball player knows how to twirl a ball on their finger. Swimmers are no different. These are tricks every swimmer should know but your coach won’t be teaching you. You’ll have to learn on your own.<\/p>\n

Why you need to know this skill:<\/em> Long distance retribution<\/p>\n

How to do this:<\/em> First, interlock your fingers tightly. Cross your thumbs over in the back however feels comfortable to you.<\/p>\n

Now, put your hands underwater.<\/p>\n

Close your hands so that the perimeters of your hands are tight against each other. Lift your hands out of the water. If you have a good seal, the water should stay between your hands. Squeeze your hands together as if to push your palms closer. Your hands go from being cupped to being flat. If this is done correctly, water should squirt out of the front of your hands (closest to your pinkies).<\/p>\n

If it is coming out from somewhere else, try to adjust your grip. You\u2019ll probably want to remove any rings when performing this trick as they may impact the water-tight integrity of the seal between your hands.<\/p>\n
