freestyle - One-sided Position-11
While visiting STEVE Haufler in Orinda California, he showed us his new favorite drill for freestyle.
Why do it:
If your swimmers have a tendency of losing balance, or crossing over when they breathe in freestyle, this can help with that.
How to do it:
1 - Pull your left arm first and breathe to the right as the left arm enters.
2 - Your right arm will have already started to pull and will be about ? to ? of the way through the pull.
3 - Take your breath quickly and return your face to the water before your right arm enters.
4 - Your left arm should still be extended. Kick in Position-11 for 6 seconds and repeat by starting with your left arm again.
How to do it really well (the fine points):
Practice the drill with breathing to both sides.
Once the swimmer can do the drill correctly, it’s time to tell them to “back off” or “let go” of the complete Position 11 after the breath.
The result will be a very smooth and balanced freestyle stroke with relaxed breathing
