GoSwim GoldAll Strokes - Change-of-Direction Relays
1 commentSwim training has a bit of monotony built in to it, so when there's a chance to break from routine, it's good to combine some athletic moves into the fun.
All Strokes - Monofin Sprints
Sure, we all know the FINIS Foil Monofin is great for training the underwater dolphin, but there's another great use for it as well.
Changing Your Stopwatch Battery
Most coaches have way too many stopwatches sitting around, probably quite a few of them not functioning either.
How To Put Together Swedish Goggles
One of the oldest goggle designs is still one of the best. Swedish goggles, or Swedes are simple, inexpensive, and last a very long time. While not for everyone, if they fit your face, they're some of the best goggles on the market.
All Strokes - Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
So what if you haven't been swimming for, say, 30 years. Swimming today compared to back then, would be like opening a time capsule.
Equipment - Drag+Fly
If you're looking to add some resistance to a particular swimmer or stroke, consider the Drag+Fly. We were sent one of these a couple months ago, and thought we'd give it a try.
All Strokes - Streamline Spin 360
Want to see if you've REALLY mastered streamline? Try holding streamline as you spin in 360 rotation.
All Strokes - Overhead Sculling
There are many sculling drills but, in my opinion, the graduation of sculling is the overhead scull, on your back, feet first.
Drill of the Week - FINIS Agility Paddles
Last week at the ASCA World Clinic, there were a lot of great new products, and one of our favorites was the new FINIS Agility Paddle.
All Strokes - Warming Down
Warm down or cool down. Whatever you call it, with championship meets coming up, it's very important that swimmers understand the importance of completing it.
All Strokes - Practice Stations
The goal of practice isn't just to make swimmers work. It's also to engage them IN the work. Switching up what you do from the standard back and forth can be motivating and turn into a great workout.
All Strokes - The Crutch
This may be seen as more rant than drill, and some will like it, and some will not. Either way, the pull buoy is what it is... a useful piece of swim equipment.
All Strokes - Warm Up!
So it's not a drill, or even a focal point... but without this common occurance in swimming, you're just not ready to swim.
