Total Immersion encourages swimmers to spear deeper than they are used to in order to set up for a great catch. But a deeper arm spear also helps drive more rotation. Playing with it today during a 1000m warm up (having watched the Phelps drills on my Facebook page), I immediately dropped back to 41SPL in the 50m pool. I really enjoyed the feeling of extra forward momentum.
