Stussy told me to swim with a tennis ball under my chin to get used to not moving.
anyone else tried this? Or hae other drills and a set for such?
I was just gong to do some streamline, turns and pull outs work and throw in 4x 50 with the tennis ball. Slow at first and try to add speed.
Then move into my regular BR work.
Thoughts?

I also tried the ball beneath the chin drill, it was horrible -- neck too stiff, couldn't move in my ever-so-slight undulation, felt like someone stuck me cage and told me to swim. This is the first I've heard of the "Carla Drill." It sounds like it would work a number of important technical aspects, head down, breath endurance, long streamline and undulation. I'll be trying this one tomorrow morning. I'll have to move to the back of the lane or someone will definitely be swimming over me --oouch!
