Does anyone have any hints, tips, tricks, or drills to help swimmers engage their core while swimming freestyle (or any stroke for that matter)? :afraid:
Thanks!!
Good point philoswimmer!
I will re-phrase: I need drills or tricks to help me engage my lats when I swim. I feel like I am using the small shoulder and chest muscles too much. My lats never hurt or feel tired. I've been working with a 6 beat kick in the skater position followed by a roll to repeat on the other side. This drill seems easy and I don't feel much transfer to my stroke. Should my lats be tired after a 4,000 lcm workout of all freestyle? It seems like they should. I am confused:badday:
