Sure, we've all seen water polo drill before, but how does a double Olympic Finalist do it?

Why do it:
When Bruno thinks SPRINT, he imagines staying on TOP of the water.  This drill helps him isolate that LIFT at the front of his stroke.

How to do it:
1 - Bruno likes to use fins, as he has a thing for going fast!
2 - Keep your head out of the water the entire time.
3 - Swim freestyle, making sure the initial connection of the hand is firm... immediately, holding the head high.

How to do it really well (the fine points):
Sure, for many of you, this is going to go against the "low head" and "never push down on the water" ideas of swimming.  However, when talking to some of the greatest sprinters in the world, we keep hearing the term "lift", or trying to stay on top of the water.

This drill, done this way, with straight arm recover, isn't for everyone.  It's to illustrate that those select few who have swum 21 seconds in the 50 long course freestyle, have different needs and focus points.  We all have to find the details that allow us to achieve our particular goals.

Check out some PREVIEW chapters of Bruno while we work to polish up his new video project.
