GoSwim GoldStarts & Turns - Up and Outs
1 commentHow you get IN the water says a lot about a swimmer. But so does how you get up and OUT.
Breaststroke - Body Dolphin Straight Arms
When doing drills, it's important to understand how all the pieces fit together to get the most out of every drill.
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.
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.
Backstroke - Cup-on-Head Balance
It's been six years since we posted this drill, and 100 years since it was first introduced, but a better visual was necessary.
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.
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.
Breaststroke - Forced Hand Speed
Many young breaststrokers search for power rather than finesse when trying to go fast. Sometimes forcing them into a rate above what's comfortable can help them keep the hands quick, and where they should be.
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.
Breaststroke - High Heels Progression 2
Here's a remake of a drill we shot back in 2005. Even with many swimmers trying to get a shallower kick, for some, they've gone a bit too far in trying to reduce the resistance of the recovery, and now get nothing out of the kick at all... time to revisit.
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.
Carlos Almeida Breaststroke Stills
NCAA Champion from Louisville, Carlos Almeida, shares some very cool breaststroke techniques with us.
World Class 25
I had recently come across this cool little app called viddy just before I flew to Charlotte to do some work.
