GoSwim GoldFreestyle - Straighter-Leg Flutter Kick
2 commentsWhile we've covered this many times before, it seems there's always a need to rehash that a "straight-leg" flutter kick really doesn't mean you don't bend your legs.
Freestyle - The Finish
The sports world is filled with stories of people winning by 1/100th of a second, or losing by 1/100th of a second. While a race can be swum perfectly, it's not over till it's over.
Freestyle - The New Hypoxic
I have to say, I'm not a fan of hypoxic training for masters swimmer, but I am a fan of learning efficiency to the point of not needing air.
Drill of the Week - Freestyle Pull-Buoy Balance
The pull buoy is rarely used to teach the ownership of balance, but by using it to shift the balance point of the body, a swimmer can learn more about adjusting their stroke.
Freestyle - Position 11 for Two
Staying in balance for a smooth freestyle isn't always as easy as it looks. Sometimes it takes more than one to really accomplish the perfect stroke.
Eney Buoy & D-Band Preview
A couple great swimmers sent me a couple new products they developed. Turns out they work great together.
Freestyle - Narrow Flutter Kick
Here are a couple ways to help develop a quick, narrow, and strong flutter kick for freestyle.
Freestyle - Balance Catch Progression
Here's a short freestyle progression, using a combination of drills to help swimmers focus on balance, the timing of the weight shift in the body, and holding the water into the catch.
Freestyle - Waterfall Flips 2
After spending a week in London watching the Olympics and seeing an old friend, Coach Dave Durden, we were reminded of a drill Dave shared with us.
Freestyle - The Deep Catch
There's been a lot of talk lately about the straight-arm pull versus the bent-arm pull. Paddle versus propeller. Linear pull pattern versus S-shaped pull pattern. To figure out which is best for you, you need to experience both types of pull.
Freestyle - Resistance Catch Training
If you want to have some fun with stretch cords and a Tempo Trainer, here's a quick, challenging sequence to help you learn a better pull.
Olympian Roy Burch - Endless Pool
Bermuda Olympic sprinter, Roy Burch, stopped by the Endless Pool Elite while at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix last week.
World Class 25
I had recently come across this cool little app called viddy just before I flew to Charlotte to do some work.
Freestyle - Open-Water Rabbit
There's a certain loneliness about training for open-water swimming, especially when you do your training in a pool. This drill serves multiple purposes to teach and help break the monotony that comes with 5,000-meter swims.
Freestyle - Inner-Elbow Extension
The problem with way too many swimmers is that they take a very long path to the catch. One of the most common long paths: crossing over prior to extension.
