Swim Drills
Drills:
Single Arm Drill
· Keep one arm extended out in front and use the other to stroke. "Reach, Catch, Crank, Snap, Line."
· Drill allows you to focus on the dynamics of pulling, on arm at a time. Use fins with this drill.
· Do not allow your arm to drop before the other gets there.
Finger Tip Drag Drill
· Drag your finger tips along the water during the arm recovery.
· Helps to give you an idea of where your arm is and where it enters.
Fist Drill
· Swim regular freestyle with a closed fist for a half length, then open your hand and feel the increase in power.
· Concentrate on pulling with the forearms, use normal to fast arm speed.
