Lat pulldowns
I also like to do these one-armed, with the V attachment.
Jazz, is that the close grip triangle bar? They're good to do seated rows too and pull to the navel...that hits the lower portion of the lats harder.
That grip is fantastic to just get a good stretch on too.
Sometimes doing lat pull downs I'll use lighter weight than I would for straight pull downs and mimic an over the barrel pull motion.
Breaststrokers should do terminal leg extensions (only go half way down before back up) too. Works the lower portion of the quad to keep knee strong...this is from my physio...not a swim coach.
