GoSwim GoldBreaststroke - Sculling at the Wall
0 commentsSculling at the Wall is a great drill for learning how to move your hands from side to side (rather than pulling back) in breaststroke.
Breaststroke - Separation Drill
In breaststroke, timing is everything, and knowing when to initiate the kick is a critical element in that timing. Steve Haufler's Separation Drill does a great job in over-teaching this simple step to a great breaststroke.
Swimming Pic of the Week - May 20, 2010
This week's Pic is a moving picture. Doing our best to illustrate the speed at which the hands and head need to move forward after the breath in breaststroke. Tell us how we (me) did. It's a work in progress... thanks to Roque Santos.
Swimming Pic of the Week - May 13, 2010
Keeping with our "sequence" type of images, this week it's a butterfly focus with Eric Shanteau.

This is just a sample of what you get in a Go Swim video that we don't even talk about. In watching the elite of the elite, there are so many things we've discussed at length on this website, that are illustrated so well, even if it's not a focal point within the video.
Freestyle - Mega Catch-Up Drill
This drill comes to us from our good friends at Almaden Swim & Racquet Club. Coaches Andre Salles-Cunha and Jason Martin.
Swimming Set of the Week - April 16, 2010
This week's set starts out mellow, then gets serious at the halfway point.

Sometimes what you crave is just a mellow hour at the pool. Time to recover and maybe work on your EVF.
Freestyle - High-Elbow Catch
Catch-catch-catch... seems as if all we talk about is a high-elbow catch. For good reason. Nothing will move you through the water more effectively than an early, high-elbow catch in freestyle.
Freestyle - Single-Arm Breath
When working with great swimmers, it's always interesting to see what specific things they do that we can all learn from. Working with Fran Crippen showed us a great breathing drill mixed into an old standard.

We had an opportunity to spend a bit more time with Fran Crippen. I couldn't resist posting this pic immediately.
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.

We know we should have done something extra special for the last Pic of 2009...

Nearing the end of the year, this is just a reminder to keep reaching!
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.
