Hi Everyone,
I have one question. I have a swimmer who I have tried to help speed up her rotation. She cannot seem to get into the sprinting habit (She is not a long distance swimmer, but she very well could be with this stroke). She is in high school and it affects all her strokes where she enters the water and holds her glide too long. I have tried to get her to "skip over" reaching as fast as she can to try and have her feel a totally different stroke.
Does anyone have any dryland or stroke techniques that they utilize to work on faster arm repetition?
Thanks!
When my granddaughter's coach was tweeking her freestyle, he had her hold a dowel (about 4 feet long, 3/4 inch diameter) with her hands the distance apart he wanted them to enter the water. She saw significant drop in all of the frees shortly after she started doing this drill. She said drill was HECK. Coach said, "It isn't easy if its hard."
I don't know if that will help with turn over rate but it might help with the waving her hand around thing.
