How do you finish? Are you aggressive? Do you try and swim through the wall? Do you pull up right before there touch?
You've had a great start, streamline and breakout. Your turns were fast and crisp and your stroke and race strategy were right on setting you up for a great finish. Why throw it all away by letting up on your way to that finish.
There are four key elements that every swimmer needs on the way to a great finish:
- Finish with your head forward--pushing towards the wall. (not looking at the score board)
- Finish with your hips high and legs driving towards the wall.
- Finish on a full stroke. (arm or arms fully extended to the pad)
- Finish with your legs working at maximum speed.
