Pull refers to the action of using a pull buoy and isolating your arms on the freestyle stroke.
Description
The purpose of using a pull buoy is to create extra buoyancy for your hips, to bring your body position in line so you are more streamlined allowing you to focus on the rest of your stroke and build core strength. A high elbow catch helps maximize the pull and an efficient forward motion.
Key Points
Focus on your body position and keeping your hips high.
Pull in a straight line, directly in line with your shoulder.
Focus on a high elbow catch and initiate the pull with the hand and the forearm.
Note
If you are unable to perform a drill based on lack of equipment or comfort level, swim freestyle and focus on the three key points.
