Hello Swimmers,
This is the first of many "Coaches Corner". I will be posting new drills that I would like you to take a look at, and then WE shall try them at practice. I will try to list the "group" that the drill I post pertains to.

During practice I notice a lot of kids looking at the ceiling or lifting their head completely out of the water to take a breath when swimming freestyle. When this happens one tends to "over rotate" or "swim flat". Neither of those things are good things. So hopefully you learn a lot from this drill.

Its called the Single-Arm Breath. You may want to watch it more than once.

Until next time,

Coach Grace
