Working Out With Water: Swim, Snow and Ice > Use Your Hips During Freestyle Swimming

Use Your Hips During Freestyle Swimming

When doing the freestyle stroke, your arms shouldn't be doing all the work. Instead, you can enlist the power of other muscles to help you swim better, longer and with less fatigue.

Here's a great way to keep more than your arms working when you swim: by rolling your hips as you extend your arms, you'll draw more power from your back and side muscles.
