Freestyle - Reach, Ride, and Grab
Swimming with paddles gives people a feeling of power as they pull, but this drill will help you focus on another aspect of your stroke... reach!
All Strokes - Strapless Sculling
Paddles can sometimes become a crutch, but remove that little rubber tube and they become a great technical training tool.
All Strokes - Hotel Pool Sculling
Every once in a while I get a question about what to do when swimmers travel and end up at a hotel that has an "Olympic-size pool"... like the one shown here.
Freestyle - Connection Variation
Here's a fun and challenging drill that can help you learn rhythm and develop power for your freestyle.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 26, 2010
Sometimes what you crave is just a mellow hour at the pool. Time to recover and maybe work on your EVF.
Freestyle - Single Paddle
Do you limp when you swim freestyle? Do you lean too much to one side or the other because you breathe to only one side? While these things are easy to correct for a short period of time, a permanent fix requires greater focus over a longer period of time. Here's a quick way to experience what a proper, balanced freestyle pull should feel like.
Freestyle - Above-Speed Catch
Moving fast through the water requires a couple things: a great catch and a high-speed turnover. Sometimes, the harder you try, the less return you get on the water. By using tools, this becomes easier to feel.
Swim Pic of the Week - July 2, 2009
Well... it's not really a pic, but MANY pics. See if you can tell what drill we were working on in this super-slow-mo short video.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 10, 2009
The swimming set this week combines fins and paddles for a stroke-count set that works breath control and cadence control.
Freestyle - Egyptian Crawl
Developing a quick, productive kick is important for all swimmers, but especially for sprint freestylers. This drill forces the feet to move quickly, and constantly through the entire length.
Breaststroke - Wall Pull
Knowing how to move your hands side to side in breaststroke, rather than pulling back is a skill all swimmers need to learn. This "fun" drill is a great way to see if you're able to do it effectively.
