GoSwim GoldTurns - Stable Pushoffs
5 commentsWhen many younger and older swimmers come off a flip turn, they're sometimes disoriented and push off incorrectly. In order to learn a great line, and stable exit from a flip, here's a good sequence to help.
Turns - Learning the Underwater Dolphin - Step 1
There are few things in swimming that cross the lines of all strokes, but learning the underwater dolphin is certainly the most important.
Backstroke - Aggressive Wave
The Aggressive Wave Backstroke Drill uses exaggeration to teach correct hand position, head position, shoulder roll, hip rotation, recovery momentum, continuous kick, stroke synergy and position in the water.

What a great week we had on the road. Here's a quick sample of what we were working on. Tell us what you think of this great backstroke swimmer.
Breaststroke - Shark-Fin Kick
So you've been working on a nice, undulating breaststroke... getting your body to ride up and down and flow through the water. Now along comes a drill that looks like a throwback to the days of waterbug, flat breaststroke.
Freestyle - 6-Kick Switch
Consistent, quick kicking, combined with a stable body roll, helps you move everything forward when you're swimming freestyle. This drill gives you enough time to work on both.
Breaststroke - Streamlined Push
Truth be told, there really isn't a simpler drill in existence, yet there also isn't a drill that carries more importance in all of swimming.
Breaststroke - Butt Head
To celebrate the birthday of my son and daughter, plus Father's Day, I put together this drill with my daughter. While it's an old and standard drill, we gave it a more youthful and edgy name to encourage the kids to think about technique as FUN.

Tell us what you think of the backstroke demonstrated by this young swimmer.
Freestyle - Balanced Swim/Kick
The swimming focus point "Send It Forward" is usually associated with Dave Denniston and fast breaststroke. But it also applies to freestyle.

Here's a pic from a recent video shoot. What's it mean to you?
Freestyle - 5-Count Switch
Staying in balance in freestyle is one of the best ways to maintain speed. Figuring out how to control your bodyline to OBTAIN that balance, especially when you're completing your pull, is one of the fine points of freestyle.

Tell us what this means to you, and remember... this a still picture. She was moving through her stroke.
Backstroke - Double Arm
Do you over-reach on your backstroke? Having a hard time keeping your hips up? Wondering how your hands should exit to initiate the recovery? Want to get the feeling of where you start your pull? Want to get a bonus effect of practicing your breaststroke underwater pull? This drill is for YOU!
