All right, so the way some drills are done, we tend to focus on one or a couple different things. So I want to make, I want to talk a little bit about the connection between the recovering arm and the pulling arm. And the drill is shark fin drill in the in the sense that you're in this position with the arm held out. Now, this is a balanced drill. But it's also a catch drill. And the way that it's a catch drill is that the lead arm has to be set down while this arm is recovering. So I'm gonna play with a couple different positions, I'm using fins to keep myself going. And it allows me to just focus on the front end without having to worry too much about anything else. So the first time I'm gonna show it's just going to be a balanced drill holding here. And the second time I showed it's going to be a catch drill, and which I hold here, drop the lead arm into the catch position and then make the transition. So it's important that you understand both ways to do it. So that you don't just fall into one pattern, and end up working on the same thing over and over again, and, and forgetting where the connection between one side and another goes. So we're going to try it here.

So I do that a few times in the catch position, and then just kind of transition into some smooth swimming, thinking about that setup, and the connection between the recovering arm and the cat charm.

So very simple drill, but a real small detail that needs to be considered making sure that you're not just doing a catch up stroke, or making sure that you're not just working on the front end balance. But the connection you're trying to learn and build a connection between the setup arm and the recovery arm. And you can see that once you start swimming, after you just do an a drill, you go a lot faster. So you have to kind of relax. At least in this pool. Because the water speed is the same as a regular pool. You won't have that problem. Great job.
