Thanks for another great video! It was great to hear the explanation of the purpose of each drill (which I had forgotten for a few I already knew) as well as new drills (3 Swim, 6 Kick is new to me)!

The slow motion is really nice, but sometimes I need to see the drill at the actual speed so i can get a more complete look.

Your videos are so helpful; I love how Mark and Heather break down each part of the stroke and of the drills. Thank you! 😀

You always make it look so smooth and easy. Any advice for those of us who are less comfortable in water?

Sculling is so underrated. One of my favorite drills is fist swim

I’ve always wondered what your favorite workouts were! Thanks for sharing with us!
