Raising the scapula
At what moment precisely does one raise the scapula in the stroke? At the beginning of the recovery? At some point during the recovery? Some other moment?
Thanks.

One thing I notice is that she rotates her head ahead of her body when breathing. We had a thread about this recently, and here it's quite clear that the head isn't simply rotating with the body, but...

Bad side blues
Since I started swimming (a little over 3 years ago), I've always breathed bilaterally. And I've always had a bad side (left). I've done my nodding drills, and more of them on by bad side (generally...

traction without pulling?
What's the difference between "creating traction" and "pulling"?
In other words, isn't it more a question of not focusing on the pulling rather than not pulling? ("Stop pulling on the water" would...

Continuous rotation?
Does TI require a continuous rotation, i.e. a pendulum-like motion that never stops in a given position? Or does one rotate to one side, stay there for a certain time, however short, before rolling...
