swimming freestyle with one arm

Nice video! Didn't think to go no arms and work on the rotation like that. I like how that drill progresses. I'll have to start throwing in 100's of that drill. The 0-Arm portion isn't easy to master. Few things: 1. Persist. Ultimately, it becomes easier and easier 2. Notice on the clip how I add gentle sweeps with my hands. This is a key element that favor forward momentum 3. Focus on making the body rotation continuous and smooth. There should be no pause. It should move from left to right to left to right with no pause. I should not be able to read your kicking pattern in your shoulders 4. The little sweep (sculling) can (and should) be used during the 1-Arm execution also (like shown on the clip, although it is very subtle) Of course, sets are very easy to design: 10x100 @ 25m 0-Arm; 25m L-Arm; 25m R-Arm; 25m full stroke (6beat kick all the way) or 5x200 @ 50m each The longest distance I've made so far has been 4kilo (1 kilo each). Enjoy! Recently, I made a real fool of myself in trying to outline the 3beat per rotation nature of the drill. The clip was first posted on a Triathlon specific website, aimed at helping triathletes to master the 0-Arm execution. Here's the clip. It's called 0-Arm swimming waltz. Its purpose is to stress on the importance of achieving a continuous and smooth body rotation whilst synchronizing the 6beat kick with it. You're allowed to laugh a great deal and make fun of me of course: YouTube- 0-Arm Swimming Walzt
