What is the benefit of sculling and what is the best technique for this drill?
Thanks!

I have all of my swimmers do feet first sculling on the back. I have a couple reasons for this:
1- It makes the swimmer use their core muscles to hold their body up without tensing otherwise this will effect their scull.
2- Feet first sculling is just about the only scull that you can do without cheating. With a lot of the other scull drills, the swimmer can get lazy and pull rather then scull. This makes it easier for the coach to ensure that the swimmers are doing it properly when you have a big squad.
