Alright, we've established that dictatorial behavior can be appealing when you're doing the dictating. Now, you get to select your favourite swimming drill for any stroke and proclaim it as officially the best drill ever. Please supply info as to: what does this drill accomplish & for what stroke(s)? what is the proper technique in performing this drill (diagrams &/or video optional); why is this drill so much better than others? Equipment needed or not? Sample set using this drill; why is it the best?
Or-
Drills are a waste of time & why.

I hate all drills. And I hate coaches who don't give a sh.. about the fact the the water is cold. They talk and talk and talk:blah: :blah:
The horse is dead they keep beating it :dedhorse:
Don't they realize that all we want is to swim instead of listening to their endless speaches :(
Swimmers are smart animals. Let them swim, cut the talk, get a newspaper and let them them find their way and make their own discoveries by proposing good drills, mixed with full stroke.
(for the record, I don't read newspaper. I used to make extensive use of video cam/tv monitor. At each workout. If there's something I want to show, I film, take the swimmer out of the water and give the feed back where it's quiet, letting the other continuing the massive drill set)
