Flying Elbows
Fault
The user’s elbows are sticking out from the body at the finish and the handle is at chest level.
Solution
Draw the handle to the body. The wrists are flat and the elbows pass close to the body. Elbows
extend behind the body as the handle is drawn to the waist.
Locking the Knees
Fault
At the end of the stroke, the user locks the knees making the legs straight.
Solution
Always keep the legs slightly bend in the fully extended position. Do not lock the knees.
