#422 : Why You're Not Faster After Working On Your Catch with Brenton Ford
You've probably heard it before — your freestyle catch is everything.
And maybe you've been working on it. You've improved the position, you feel stronger in the water, and technically… it looks better.
But here's the frustrating part — you're still not getting any faster.
So what's going on?
Today, we're breaking down exactly why improving your catch doesn't always translate into speed… and what you need to do to actually get the benefit from it.
Because recently, I worked with a swimmer who had done everything right. He sent in underwater footage, we reviewed it closely, and his catch position? Nearly perfect.
From the setup… to the moment he begins to press back and generate propulsion — everything was there.

When we dug deeper into the footage, we found the real issue — something subtle, but incredibly common.
He was rushing into the catch.
And that one mistake was costing him speed.
Let's break it down.
