Many people believe that it is worth copying the technique of the fastest swimmers. In reality, even the fastest swimmers have technique limitations, but they offset them with strength and conditioning. The purpose of this series of articles is to address scientifically the technique misconceptions that have become “conventional wisdom,†and to present options that are more effective.
In the second part of a two-part series on arm coordination, Dr. Rod Havriluk discusses the importance of Index of Coordination (IdC) and how a higher, or positive, IdC is ultimately needed for success. A negative IdC arm coordination (i.e., catch-up)Â is very common and also very natural, particularly when fatigued. However, a swimmer cannot maximize velocity with a negative IdC.
