GoSwim GoldFreestyle - EVF Drill
19 commentsEVF(Early Vertical Forearm) Drill will help you isolate the initial point of connection for the freestyle catch.
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 - Catch-Up Catch
Talk about a quick drill, here's one. This drill can be done during a kick set, or as a stand-alone drill.
Freestyle - Shoulder Catch
Developing an early catch in freestyle is extremely important for all swimmers, but it's just not easy for all swimmers.
Breaststroke - Wall Pull
Knowing how to move your hands side to side in breaststroke, rather than pulling back is a skill all swimmers need to learn. This "fun" drill is a great way to see if you're able to do it effectively.
Breaststroke - Building Rhythm
With it being election day, we're going to give two variations on this great teaching drill. You could also say that timing an election campaign is as tricky as creating a smooth rhythm in breaststroke. Too much too soon, or too little too late can give or take away the desired results.
Breaststroke - Snorkel Pull
This drill is simple to do, and helps you work on a few key aspects for fast breaststroke. An added benefit of using the snorkel is that you don't have to hear your coach (or your swimmers, in my case) while they yell, or complain.

10/28/08 Stroke Practice
Heavy breaststroke practice which requires good speed as the intervals get shorter but also doesn't overload the breaststroke swim too much by mixing it with freestyle. Hopefully, this means the stroke can stay more technically correct through the set.

Swimming Set of the Week - September 23, 2008
Now that you're a few weeks into a new season, your shoulders SHOULDN'T be hurting but, in case they are, here's an IM kick set that will give them (and only them) a rest. This one's worth trying even if your shoulders are fine.
I'm Addicted to Swim Tools
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. The real problem, however, is that my addiction isn't a problem. Is that the first sign of denial?
Fins Fins Fins
Wanted to work all the strokes today and give my knees a rest, so almost all of this practice is fins (and some Tempo Trainer).
Breaststroke - Pullout Fine Tuning
Here's a way to practice 5 or more breaststroke pullouts on every length...while getting all the air you need.
