How to Streamline Off the Wall - Proper Hand Placement

Swimmers - The pool is closed for repair this week, so it's a great time for dry land training & watching swim videos.

I came across this simple demonstration of how to place your hands when streamlining off the wall. The foundation of any swim length is derived from speed & momentum carrying you off the wall. So do your best to squeeze your arms & shoulders tight against your head. Push off the wall with your hands overlayed like below. Do this forever and in an instant you will become a better swimmer.
