Theme of the Week: Freestlye 

Did you ever wonder why we see so many different arm recovery techniques in freestyle? Each technique has a purpose, and this video explains all of the different arm recovery techniques and the advantages of each one. Using Octane, a gasoline additive, as an analogy, they take you through the four different energy levels of arm recovery from lowest to highest. Some of the fastest freestylers in the world, such as American Record holder Zane Grothe and Olympians Jimmy Feigen, Roland Schoeman, Kelsi Worrell, Isabella Arcila and Brad Tandy demonstrate freestyle using different Octane levels of arm recovery. Discover why these Athletes use certain Octane levels in order to maximize their speed. Senior and Junior Elite groups watched this video earlier in the year. It’s a great review and reminder before you view some races.
