Hidden Biomechanics of Shoulder Medial Rotation That Separate Good Swimmers From Great

Swim faster by mastering shoulder medial rotation. Coach Steve Friederang breaks down why this subtle cue makes or breaks your pull in all four strokes.

Join Coach in a lesson with two aspiring swimmers and hear how he thinks and explains this vital move.

  • Why medial shoulder rotation is the key to an early vertical forearm and a powerful catch.

  • How outward‑rotated shoulders prevent forward pull and waste energy.

  • Visual cues to spot improper rotation on the deck and in video.

  • Practical drills to train the rotator cuff for inward shoulder positioning.

  • How balanced shoulder‑rotator strength affects stroke efficiency and injury prevention.

Join Coaches, Steve Friederang and Mark Rauterkus on a weekly chat at 1:30 pm EASTERN every Wednesday. We're online and your input is welcome as well. Use the link at the correct time!
