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.
All Strokes - Change-of-Direction Relays
Swim 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.
Breaststroke - Long Stroke
The sport has changed and if you're not making moves to go with it, maybe it's time to take a serious look at soccer.
Starts - Avoiding Bubbles
Developing the ability to sneak through the surface on a start can help you carry more speed into your swimming.
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.
Endless Pool Elite Challenge Set
Here's a fun drill if you have a chance to jump in the Endless Pool Elite, or better yet, have one for yourself.
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 - Body Dolphin with Board
Here's a quick drill we use with our age-group swimmers to teach a more stable body dolphin.
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.
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.
Drill of the Week - Backstroke Start Drill
The angle at which you leave the wall on backstroke can help you enter the water faster, and ready for your underwater dolphins.
