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 thought swimming was the best activity you can do for your body since it works all parts of your body? if it tightens up your muscles so well how does it not combat flabbiness? Interesting. Glad it works for me. :D
By hard, I am talking about the muscles, all over, legs, shoulders, buns, and so forth. Yet, if I am not into a strict diet, and do some cycling or running or working the weight machines, I will stay where I am. Presently that is in the 220 zone. I want to lose at least 22 lbs to start with and then eventually get down to 85 kgs. Now, even when I was doing fairly high mileage, training for a marathon, I still weighed in the 200-210 zone. But over all swimming does trim down a little of the waist, while maintaining the weight. But I am talking of 4 to 5 times max per week, with 1800 to 2200 meters per session. To lose the belly pouch you must lose the fat that is inside you, adhered to your intestines and omentum, so that means losing weight not just stiffening muscles. I have colleagues at the swim place who are over 45 years old and maintain a skinny look and all the exercise they do is the swimming we do together. But they were blessed with better skinny genes. take care, billy fanstone
