Streamline Push-Off

Swimming / Popular

Hold a tight streamline off the wall to maximize glide.

What coaches agree on

  • Hold the streamline shape tight: arms locked straight overhead with hands stacked or thumbs locked, elbows squeezed in, and your core, legs, and feet held tight in one straight line.
  • Keep your head in a neutral, relaxed position in line with your body instead of lifting or turning to look for the wall or the surface.

  • Push off the wall like it's the fastest moment of your swim, because it is, rather than treating it as a rest.
