I read an article about fist swimming. sometimes I do it but because the article seemed swell done, I tried it throughout one weeks work out. It totally screwed my stroke. I did 5X 400. On the last length of the last one my stroke count was 25/length. Then I did regular free for 400. through out my count was really high. Now i have to go back and do soemthing. I was surprised how quickly it changed everything. Now i think that I'll never swim with fists ever again.
I'm curious about what the article said the purpose was of this type of swimming--b/c my coach suggested the "fist drill" as one I could do during drill segments.... I tried it but couldn't wait to stop... of course, drills (except for free catch-up) are always my least favorite part of a swim practice, so I can't go by that. If I'm given a choice of drill, the "fist drill" is definitely not one of my choices.
