Sometimes you get introduced to a drill that's so tough, you just have to try it. Marching Soldier is one of those drills.

Backstroke - Spin Drill

By Glenn Mills to Backstroke | Jul 08, 2008 08:05AM | 2 comments 2 comments

Backstroke Spin Drill is one of the most FUN drills in swimming because it lets you do all the things you’re not supposed to do, and lets you do them in a BIG way. No splash? You want to be covered in spray when you do this drill. Stay hidden and balanced? Fugettaboutit. Look up? Rotate your hips? Soft, clean hand entry? No way! No time!

Working on Rotation

By Barbara Hummel to Group (Mixed Levels) | Jun 12, 2008 07:00AM | 4 comments 4 comments

Two main sets to choose from. In one lane, we'll have 3 swimmers sharing 1 Tech Toc and 1 Hydro Hip, working on rotation in freestyle and backstroke. In the other lanes, the freestylers and triathletes will have a freestyle set with descending sendoffs, simulating race-day fatigue in a distance event.

Do you over-reach on your backstroke? Having a hard time keeping your hips up? Wondering how your hands should exit to initiate the recovery? Want to get the feeling of where you start your pull? Want to get a bonus effect of practicing your breaststroke underwater pull? This drill is for YOU!
