Anyone have any good suggestions for increasing turnover other than the obvious?

    I am sorry - I must be missing something. You "invented" the one arm free drill with the resting arm staying at the side ??? Nop, I invented the 0arm drill though (Full Stroke without any arm). I heard that there was another coach somewhere in the US who is also using this drill, but I failed to find any documentation (written or video) on it. And again, I am sure that several other coaches have invented it. We all face the same challenges, it is only logical to end up finding the same solutions. YouTube - Free Style 0 arm drill That drill can solve a whole bunch of issues, covers most level of swimmers. Newbies learn how to breathe correctly, sprinters learn to properly time their 6beat clock, flat swimmers learn to better rotate etc......... And, like I said, it can easily be implemented in a bunch of sets since it doesn't involve using a kick board. My favorite progression is 25m of this drill, 25m 1 arm, 25m the other and 25m sprint. Myself, I remember having done 1kilo/1kilo/1kilo/1kilo. After this, rotation was sorted out. Here's the progression itself YouTube - Free Style 0 arm to 1 arm to Full Stroke progression Again, the execution isn't perfect but it gives you an idea. One thing I found interesting with this kid, is that he naturally added a little scull twist with the resting arm, that can be used to improve the timing between push of one arm relative to catch of the other arm.
