Here are some frame grabs from the clips uploaded so far to goswimtv.com featuring Roland Schoeman.
Backstroke - Kick Extend Swim
Helping swimmers overcome a crossover in backstroke is a pretty standard job of coaches. Here's a quick progression that helps some swimmers.
Freestyle - Underwater Free
Being able to focus on one specific aspect of your stroke sometimes takes isolation. Swimming under water certainly gives you that.
Pic of the Week - Freestyle Catch
A quick shot of one of our great Navy swimming friends from the Santa Clara Grand Prix swim meet.
Freestyle - Short Strokes
We've referred to this type of drill before as "short release", so we're revisiting this concept.
Backstroke - Not-Too-Soft Hand Entry
Swimming smooth and pretty sure looks good but, unfortunately, it's not always the fastest mode of transportation. How firmly you enter your hand in backstroke can determine how fast, or how efficient, you are.
Breaststroke - High-Hands Freestyle
If you're a very stroke-specific swimmer, like a 200 breaststroker, you're still going to spend most of your time swimming freestyle. With that in mind, sometimes thinking specifically like a breaststroker while swimming freestyle is a good thing.
Main Set Monday - November 22, 2010
Some smooth swimming with a bit of up-pace toward the end of the set.
Main Set Thursday - October 7, 2010
This had some "fun" equipment, with fun in quotes because how much fun can paddles with weights strapped to them be?
Swimming Question of the Week - October 6, 2010
I know I've asked this question before... not sure when, but I feel like I have.
Freestyle - Donut Catch
Building a great catch in freestyle takes focus, using simple, inexpensive tools ads a creative way to get your swimmers to focus out front.
