Error
The typical mistakes in crawl swimming are:
- The arms are stretched forward and can therefore quickly cramp.
- Stretched arm moves through the water. This results in worse leverage.
- The arm does not pass under the body, but sideways, which leads to serpentines while swimming.
- Legs are too deep, thus the water resistance increases and the leg movements do not achieve propulsion but buoyancy.
- Legs are too much bent. Therefore no propulsion.
- The head is raised too much when inhaling, which causes the legs to sink and prevents the arm from swinging forward.
