I am a good sculler; I really move! But for the past couple of years, I have been trying to put an end to muscling the water with my stroke. This is mainly in freestyle, but you should not muscle any other strokes as well. Muscling reduces your stroke length and although it is counterintuitive, it does more harm than good. Anyway, even though I move well when sculling, it was due to muscling and now I'm on the right track by using soft hands rather than pure muscle. This might slow me down while I'm sculling, but gives me a much better feel for the water which is very valuable when swimming.
