Ok so this is a very bold statement which I have thought alot about and it makes sense. Everyone asks questions about the catch, now im not trying to say that alot of you are clueless when it comes to swimming, but cmon', you guys definitely don't spend alot of time in the pool. Unless you are pacing 1 minute to 1:10 100's in a 400 the catch is absolutely useless for you. Yes it's good to know proper stroke technique blah blah blah, but the fact in the matter is the catch is only effective if you know how to swim. Spend more time in the pool, lake, river, sea whatever, but if you're pacing 1:30 per hundred in a race don't worry about the catch, worry about bringing your 1:30 down to 1:20.
