How does buoyancy influence front‐crawl performance? Exploring the assumptions

A new theoretical framework for understanding the influence of buoyancy on swimming performance is proposed in this paper. During front‐crawl swimming, the hydrodynamic force acting on the hands generates the leg‐sinking moment around the center of mass, which is counteracted by the leg‐raising mome...
