3-Second Glide (6:1:6) – swim drill to improve distance per stroke

3-Second Glide is a great swim drill for any type of swimmer. Sometimes called the 6:1:6 drill, you simply glide for three seconds on each side before taking a stroke. Same as any practice, deliberate intention is the main goal.

Nice. Reminds me of the drills the late Terry Laughlin developed for the Total Immersion approach to swimming. He was ahead of his time.

Which swim swim exercises would you recommend to increase hip power and rotation? For me, that's where I need the most help with my swimming.
