Increasing turnover

"Too many swimmers focus on pushing their hand back at the end of the stroke, which just delays getting it back to the power position. For freestyle, one of the best drills I know to get the arms recovering quickly is the freestyle pull with dolphin kick. One arm stroke for each dolphin kick will force your tempo and stroke rate up higher than you are used to. It forces you to swim on the freeway. Try it, but don't slow your kick down. Speed up your recovery to keep up with your legs, but use one stroke per one kick. Once you have the tempo right, switch back to flutter kick with the same tempo." www.theraceclub.net/.../swimming-on-freeway.html
