Looking for some short axis drills, for technique primarily and strength secondly
Anybody got any?
BTW, been back in the pool for a couple months, taking it REALLY slow after being laid out for over a year with a back injury. So very grateful to be back in the water :banana:

You mean treading water with a dolphin kick? That's a good one with arms immobilized on the chest. Keep that head still, and then do it with as little kicking motion as possible, with torso movement only. You can also practice the butterfly snap while doing that dolphin kick treading to get the jerky launching motion.
If you do kick, and jump off the bottom, with fins or monofin, you could actually go airborne out of the water. Flipper, look out.
Absolutely correct; arms down to the side, but we also do arms to the side, hands out of water, and hands up in streamline to give some variation to difficulty.
