Increasing turnover

I also like this drill For freestyle, one of the best drills I know to get the arms recovering quickly is the freestyle pull with dolphin kick. I am not even sure why it works so well, but I can maintain a high turnover much easier doing this than regular Free. I second the tempo trainer recommendation - it is a very good tool. You have to actually measure your turnover / stroke rate and go from there. It's an individual thing - but from observing our team: - the slow group has poor distance per stroke and a low turnover - the middle of the pack lanes usually don't have good distance per stroke, but can maintain a pretty high turnover - the fast lane is faster, because they get better DPS or distance per stroke.
