0 commentsBorrowing from an old drill, here's a fun set sure to get you more aware of your hands.
Backstroke - Pulling on the Lane Line Again
Revisiting an old drill originally posted in 2003, some things just never go out of style.
All Strokes - The Crutch
This may be seen as more rant than drill, and some will like it, and some will not. Either way, the pull buoy is what it is... a useful piece of swim equipment.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 16, 2012
Freestyle technique is your focus in the first half of the set. Putting that technique into practice with a classic 10 X 100 is your focus on the second half.
All Strokes - Forearm Strength
If you're looking for something to strengthen your forearms, especially for breaststroke, here's a quick drill that will do the trick.
New Roland Schoeman Clips Found and Uploaded
We found some never-before-seen footage of Roland Schoeman training that we've posted at www.goswimtv.com
Butterfly - Perp Drill
If you've ever seen any TV police drama, there will be a scene where the suspect is placed against the wall, hands high, and pressed forward so the police can search him. This position just happens to be a great example of the press on butterfly.
