Drills – Freestyle – Five Standards

Five great all-round drills from MySwimPro.  The swimming in this video is by a very proficient swimmer not using fins. In these drills however, significantly greater propulsion is generated by the kick, so using fins is highly recommended. Once you become very proficient in these drills try them without the fins.

Five drills are covered in this video and the names of the drills described are (the time stamp indicates when each dril is commenced on the video clip: 3 strokes 6 kick (1m03s), catch-up (2m32s), 6 kick switch (3m25s), fist (4m20s), and zipper (finger drag) *(5m40s)..  In all of these drills it is critically important to maintain a high elbow position and don’t allow your kick to resemble a bicycling motion.
