There are basically two ways to swim fast freestyle. By fast freestyle we refer to a distance of 25 or 50 meters or yards. There is the straight arm and the classic arm. The straight arm fast freestyle has become popular among sprinters. 

In both techniques there is little need to rotate the shoulders as the arms move so fast that rotating a lot would be a waste of time. 

To do a fast freestyle it is essential that you kick as fast as you can. There should be water splashing behind you as if you had a motor. 

In a 50 freestyle there is very little margin of error, that is why you need an explosive start and flip turn. Finally, very often you can win or lose by a tenth of a second so a good final touch can make you win the race. The final stroke is a little longer than the rest. You stretch your body as fast and far as you can, rotating more to your side. You should touch with your fingers not with the palm of your hands. Just strong enough to activate the touch pad but not strong enough that you injure your fingers. This takes practice to master, so start slow and build up speed to touch the wall properly.
