Swimming: A Dragging Battle Against the Forces of Physics

The reason for the the squared velocity is that at larger velocities not only are the fluid particles bashing into the object with more speed but accordingly there is more mass per second hitting the object.

Swimming: A Dragging Battle Against the Forces of Physics

To understand why you need to make your hands have a cross-sectional area as large as possible try clenching your fist while swimming front-crawl and comparing how much more difficult it is to swim fast this is also an excellent drill for establishing good arm movement through the water.
