Purpose
This drill is a progression of the Kick on Side drill
It helps develop your alignment, posture and catch set up position
Key Points
Take a breath after the stroke and rotation to the other side
Use the mantra:
6-1-breathe-6
This makes the breathing timing as close to full stroke freestyle as possible
Progressing to full stroke
Perform some freestyle immediately after the drill, keeping your fins on
As you start the full stroke following the drill think about maintaining your alignment and extending the middle finger on your lead hand in front of the shoulder
Struggling?
Arnies or Bambinos might find the lead arm collapses before the top arm enters the water- it’s perfectly normal!
Try doing a few laps of Baton 6/1/6 then come back to 6/1/6
