High-Elbow Focus: Capture the momentum - if you missed the group workout,
this focus means that you use your stroking arm to anchor in the front
quadrant, just as the recovering arm enters the water - if you can hold
that spot out front with your stroking arm while the recovering arm enters,
the momentum from the recovering arm will pull your core forward in the
water.
