1 answer

The purpose of the RECOVERY phase in arm movement, especially in swimming, is primarily to prepare for the next outsweep. During the recovery phase, the swimmer lifts their arms out of the water and brings them forward to set up for the next stroke. This phase is crucial for maintaining a fluid and efficient stroke rhythm while ensuring that the swimmer is ready to engage in the next phase of arm movement effectively. While it could provide a brief moment of rest for the arms, its main function is to facilitate the transition into the next powerful stroke.
