I tried the closed fist drill for a few lengths in a pool. I alternated between closed fist drill and normal swimming as fast as possible, with full rest between. However, the times were the same between closed fist and normal, and when using closed fist, both stroke rate and stroke per length increased slightly, resulting in the same time.
How should I interpret the numbers?
I thought of something else while doing the fist drill this morning. Try doing the drill with a pull buoy and seeing if you get similar results, or if they flip. Until I became proficient at doing the fist drill properly, I overcompensated by kicking more. Wondering if that may be what you are doing.
