Endless Pools Drills & Ideas

Hello. So today we're going to work more on core stability and rotation, and making sure that everything is connected from the entire body perspective. This is to make sure that we don't sway our legs too much, or stabilize ourselves with our kick. But use the core to keep everything in line, we do so many balance exercises and drills that this is a more dynamic and an active way of practicing it. So what we're going to do is we're gonna use a pull boy. And instead of using a pull boy like normal, you're gonna hold it between our ankles. And when, when I swim with it held at my ankles, what we look for, and we do this with almost all of our students in here, we look for the back end to sweat, if it's swaying, the core is not connected, we want to try to rotate the pool boy is equal with the hips and the torso. So we're trying to put full body rotation without any sway in the back. So if my feet go side to side, I'm not doing a good job. So the idea is to stay as stable as possible, rotate everything in one line. So we'll do that for a little bit. And then what we do is drop the pool boy after everything is stabilized, and see if the kid can come in very gently, without overthinking to make sure that we're not using the crease stabilization. The other thing you'll probably see me do is that I'm going to look way down so the head position is gonna be down. I'm doing that so that I can look in the mirror and look behind me to make sure that my legs aren't swaying. It's a very simple drill, simple exercise. But we do see a lot of swing from side to side when people don't have that core stability. So this is something that you can try on your own when you get to the pool. And again, really try to make sure that nothing is swaying in the back. Everything is in one line. Great job. See you soon
