Freestyle Video


Here's one of our country's greatest freestylers, Kara Lynn Joyce.  She swam in three (3) Olympic Games for Team USA, bringing home four (4) silver medals.

Notice:
  • High elbow recovery & clean entry (fingertips-wrist-elbow)
  • Outstanding rotation & great stroke finish
  • Head still (at twelve o'clock) except for quick breaths
  • Tight streamline
  • Powerful six-beat kick (three kicks per pull, six per cycle)
  • Front-quadrant swimming (slight catch-up in stroke)


Note:  Kara Lynn is strong enough to manage a wide, off the mid-line, pull.
