The Only Swim Drills Triathletes Actually Need

One of the best for me is trying to find the max length after pushing off the wall in streamline position

Perfect for the off season!

You are good. Thanks!

Gtn's getting edgy. I like it

Still learning freestyle for my first Tri and appreciate the help on drills!

I would add 1 length Right arm only then 1 length Left arm only. The opposite arm should be out front. The reasons: This helps to stop your hand crossing the centreline on entry. It helps with driving the hand into the water and also you can focus on a full stroke length as well as getting that rotation. As your hand exits the water you can reach forward with the opposite arm and get some nice extension which will help you understand what that feels like so that it will hopefully carry over to your normal stroke. I am comfortably a sub 1hour IM swimmer and I do this drill pretty much every session as part of my warm up. Keep up the good work team.

Sweet, I'm covered. Polo Drill = Tarzan(Johnny Weissmuller) Drill for Me, Skull Drills teach so many things, Balance, Strength and Hand Placement. Great Stuff GTN.. :)

So... I'm not a slow swimmer, I just do a lot of waterpolo swim😁

I do them all Superman, Tarzan and sculling.
Also do one arm crawl, more difficult with the passive arm to your side than in front of you. We also do Total Immersion, just one leg kick on every arm stroke.
(Sorry for the swinglish) .
Last Tuesday we schould sculling in backstroke, backwards the feet first in direction and the hands/arms sculling behind your head. ??!! Can’t say I made it.
