Swimming Technique Concepts – Maximizing Swimming Velocity Part 6: The Push Phase<\/span><\/h1>\n

By Rod Havriluk, Ph.D.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Previous articles in this series (SW July<\/a>, August<\/a>, October<\/a><\/span>) showed that swimmers substantially decrease time in the non-propulsive stroke phases (recovery and entry) to increase stroke rate and increase swimming velocity.<\/p>\n

In contrast, research shows only a small decrease in time in the propulsive phases (pull and push) with increases in swimming velocity. The findings support the importance of keeping the hand submerged long enough to maximize propulsion and swimming velocity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PULL AND PUSH PHASES<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe graph in Fig. 1 shows that elite male swimmers had only a very small change in either the pull or the push phase time with an increase in swimming velocity. Hand force analyses clearly show that swimmers who decrease the push phase time sacrifice propulsion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FREESTYLE PUSH PHASE<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe swimmer in Fig. 2 (see in article) is a typical example of how swimmers decrease push phase time. The swimmer\u2019s right elbow is only about 1-tenth of a second into the push phase, and his elbow is already breaking the surface. Because the swimmer\u2019s elbow is pulling his hand upward, his hand force is decreasing.<\/p>\n

It is natural for a swimmer to prematurely elevate the elbow during the push phase to increase stroke rate and swim faster. The upward elbow motion pulls the hand upward, which decreases the push phase time, but also compromises propulsion.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the swimmer, the biomechanical model\u2019s elbow (right image) is 2-tenths of a second into the propulsive phase and below the surface in a very strong position to generate force. Although near the end of the push phase, the model\u2019s hand force is still near the peak.<\/p>\n

\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nFive-time Olympic champion Caeleb Dressel heads the list of the best swimming performances produced in 2021, thanks to his world record in the 100 meter butterfly at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Overall, the top 10 performances consisted of seven women\u2019s efforts and three from the men. A further breakdown reveals seven individual swims and three world record-setting relays.<\/p>\n

042 <\/span> SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: MAXIMIZING SWIMMING VELOCITY (Part 6)\u2014THE PUSH PHASE<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nIn freestyle and butterfly, swimmers typically decrease the push phase time to increase stroke rate and swimming velocity. In doing so, the premature upward motion of the elbows pulls the hands upward and compromises propulsion. Most swimmers can gain additional propulsion on the push phase by pushing the hand backward instead of pulling the hand upward.<\/p>\n
