Hip Driven Freestyle Drill

The 6 Kick 1 Stroke drill is an invaluable tool for mastering various freestyle techniques. This exercise emphasizes bringing the elbow above the hand on the recovery while kicking on the side, allowing swimmers to practice adjusting their recovery speed and intensity. In this particular session, we focus on a Low Octane Hip Driven stroke, perfect for long-distance swimming. It is important to keep the elbow higher than the hand, which should remain relaxed. During the switch, aim for an assertive recovery by extending the hand forward, keeping it above the water for as long as possible while employing a hip rotation.This drill offers versatility, making it a timeless exercise beneficial for both beginners and seasoned swimmers. #theraceclub #swimcoach #hipdriven #swim #swimmer #swimming #swimtechnique #swimcamp

I like this. It's something new to focus on with the six kick switch: finishing the backend of the pull strong and punchy. I'll have to give this a try.
