The 2 sides of fast swimming

This post is meant to make you think about how we move through the water, and what makes fast swimmers fast.

Propulsion - This is the first thought for everyone.  If I pull harder, kick faster, push off the block or wall harder I will go faster.  This is all true.  Propulsion in water is generally linked to the size of the paddle (your hand) or flipper (your feet).  Other factors come in to play as well like the angle of the paddle, and the amount of force applied to the paddle.

    Coach Joel, is not a literary genius, so please no comments on grammar or language usage.  I have a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Sports Psychology, neither of which involved me using the written English language very well.
