Drills, drills, drills.

Every swimming coach has a tool-box full of drills.

Drills for arms and stroke technique.

Drills for legs and kicking.

Drills for timing.

Drill for breathing.

Drills for dives, for turns, for finishes, for underwater…….

But here’s the thing: having more drills than your local hardware store doesn’t make you a better coach or improve the ability of your swimmers to perform at their best when and where it matters.

In this video I talk about swimming drills and suggest ways for you to connect the drills you do to the ability of your swimmers to maintain great technique and skills at high speed, under the fatigue and pressure environment of competition.
