**Haufler Top Freestyle Drill #4: Sailboat**

This swimmer is doing what I call the SailBoat Drill. The lead arm is the boat; the recovering arm is shaped like a triangular sail, with the fingers just barely touching the water.

She will kick 6 times in this position…and then switch to the other side. The hand is positioned for a perfect high-elbow entry with the wrist slightly flexed.

As the other arm pulls, the entering arm extends to a glide position. You’ll need a strong kick and good body balance to maintain this position.
