GoSwim GoldFreestyle - Connection Variation
2 commentsHere's a fun and challenging drill that can help you learn rhythm and develop power for your freestyle.
Breaststroke - Breath Control
To really excel at breaststroke, you need to be able to control your breathing...and not just the breathing in, but also the breathing OUT!
Freestyle - EVF Drill
EVF(Early Vertical Forearm) Drill will help you isolate the initial point of connection for the freestyle catch.
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.
Turns - Tech Suit Turns. The last hurrah!
This drill is sent out to all our friends heading to US Masters Nationals in Atlanta this week. This will be pretty much the last weekend for the tech-suit era and, love 'em or hate 'em, they've made quite an impact on the sport.
Breaststroke - Narrow Kick with Roque Santos
If you're going to learn a great breaststroke kick, why not go to the best. Roque Santos, 200 breaststroke U.S. Olympian and multiple masters world record holder, shows us a couple tricks to an effective kick.
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.
Backstroke - Backwards Board Kick
Kicking backwards while holding a board is a great drill for working your abs and thighs, essential muscles for butterfly and for dolphin kick off the walls for backstroke.
Eric Shanteau Back - Breast Crossover Turn
On the road shooting more video, we got Eric Shanteau to do a quick demonstration of a back-to-breast crossover turn. Much more to come on his upcoming DVD.
Turns - Late-Hands Flip
When first learning how to do an effective flip turn, many people try to use the hands to help them get the turn started. But then they get caught, and are unable to finish the rotation.
Turns - Learning the Underwater Dolphin - Step 5
In moving up the ladder in mastering the underwater dolphin, more fine points come out. The quickest way to work through these, is to focus on one.
Dryland - EVF Isometric Exercise
EVF, EVF, EVF. Early Vertical Forearm is right up there with underwater dolphin as one of the key moves and key concepts in swimming. This dryland exercise will help you understand and FEEL what EVF is all about. And... it will help you develop the muscles that help make it happen.
Freestyle - Flutter Wall Kick
Working flutter kick is typically a standard part of practice. Here's a fun twist sure to build up some lactic acid in your thighs.
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.
