ENTRY

Once the hands has passed the head, it enters the water with the fingertips first. The rest of the arm moves through the hole opened by the hand in the water and continues to move forward under the water until it is fully extended. The arm stroke cycle can start anew.

CATCH

From the entry position the hand then moves forward, still remaining close to the surface of the water. When the arm is near full extension the hands sculls outwards and catches the water. From this position the hand sweeps downward with the elbow beginning to flex, thus ensuring that the hand keeps traveling in a downward direction. The elbow is kept high through the down sweep as the hand starts to accelerate.

PULL

As the down sweep nears completion the elbow begins to increase in flexion and the pitch of the hand turns inward. The flexion continues throughout the in sweep until it reaches 90 degrees. The acceleration of the hand continues to increase throughout this phase.

PUSH

Upsweep the upsweep is the last of the underwater phase of the arm pull. From the in sweep the hand pitch adjusts again to a backward and outward position. The fingers point the bottom of the pool till the final stages of the upsweep. When the hand passes the hip the wrist rotates, the palm turns inward and releases the water. This places the little finger close to the surface in preparation for the exit and recovery. The arm at this point is close to full extension.

RELEASE

At the end of the upsweep no force should be applied because the forearm and hand are mostly moving upward. Otherwise water would be pushed upward, increasing drag and pushing the hips down. The shoulder, upper arm and elbow exit the water in that order , followed by the forearm and hand with the palm turned inward to minimize drag.

The elbow leads the recovery phase and is followed by the land leaving the water , the tittle finger first. The moves forward close to the head in a relaxed position .The elbow remains flexed and higher than the hand throughout the recovery. The arm starts to extend forwards slightly in preparation for entry.
