Main Set Thursday - December 15, 2011
Mellow 400s today, interspersed with 75s that get faster throughout the set.
Freestyle - Reach, Ride, and Grab
Swimming with paddles gives people a feeling of power as they pull, but this drill will help you focus on another aspect of your stroke... reach!
All Strokes - Hand Instinct
Instinct is a tough thing to discover, and what you instinctively do with your hands can have a direct impact on your performance.
Butterfly - Perp Drill
If you've ever seen any TV police drama, there will be a scene where the suspect is placed against the wall, hands high, and pressed forward so the police can search him. This position just happens to be a great example of the press on butterfly.
Freestyle - Heavy-Hand Side Kick
Learn to connect the pulling arm to the recoverying arm to give you another option for strong freestyle.
Breaststroke - Shadow Outsweeps
We've played with shadows in breaststroke before, but it's never bad to revisit.

Good extension in freestyle is important, and the taller the swimmer, the more important it is to really take advantage of your reach.
Breaststroke - Dave Hands
This past week, I was reminded of a great hand-awareness drill from US Paralympic Resident Coach, Dave Denniston.

All Strokes - Strapless Sculling
Paddles can sometimes become a crutch, but remove that little rubber tube and they become a great technical training tool.
