..my hip rotation. In the correct forum this time I hope! Ok (genderless) guys, I do most of my training in a 20m pool but it's for Open Water swimming, 2 k to 10 k distance at the moment, with a view to a double English channel relay next year. So with a 20m length, that means LOTS of laps.
BTW, i bought the finis tech toc hip trainer and found immediately that it indicated (in it's limited fashion) that my rotation was ok, so no benefits from that.

I like to do a basic 1 pull for 12 kicks drill going side to side with my swimmers. The trick is not dropping the elbow when doing this though and maintaining a strong high elbow. |
