When Does a Swimmer Catch Water, and When Does a Swimmer Release the Water? When Does a Swimmer Catch Water, and When Does a Swimmer Release the Water? originally appeared on About.com Swimming on Friday, December 25th, 2009 at 01:01:51.
An early swimming catch helps swimmers to maximize the amount of force they can apply to that water while swimming. Swimmers should grab or catch the water as far out in front of them as their body allows. I define the catch as the point in the stroke when swimmers apply pressure to the water that helps the swimmers move forward. Pushing down on the water is not really catching, even though it is pressing on the water. The catch happens when the swimmers action is helping them move toward the finish. But where or when should a swimmer let go of the water - when do they release that pressure - where do they start the recovery?
