Swimmer's Freestyle Technique and Swimming in a Short-Course Yards Swimming Pool

Tuesday May 16, 2006
Hall of Fame Swimmer (and coach) Jonty Skinner, the first man to break 44-seconds in a 100-yard freestyle and the second man to break 50-seconds in the 100-meter freestyle, discusses his observations on freestyle swimming technique differences between swimmers that seem to be focused on short-course yards vs. long-course meters. What swimmers think may be happening with freestyle swimming pulling technique may not be how swimmers actually swim. (Jonty Skinner/USA Swimming)
