Let’s Talk About the Feather: Yeah, That’s a Real Thing


Listen Later

Most swimmers finish their stroke like they’re just trying to get their arm out of the way—not like they’re trying to move forward. In this solo episode, I’m diving into a concept almost nobody talks about in freestyle: the feather.

The feather is that subtle but crucial outward motion at the end of your stroke that sets up a smooth recovery and gives you just a little extra propulsion, without blowing up your shoulder. It’s not just for elites. It’s not complicated. But it does take intention.
