GoSwim GoldMain Set Wednesday - May 16, 2012
0 commentsBorrowing from an old drill, here's a fun set sure to get you more aware of your hands.
Main Set Monday - May 7, 2012
A little technique work to start the week right, with inspiration from Go Swim Freestyle with Jason Lezak.
Freestyle - Open-Water Rabbit
There's a certain loneliness about training for open-water swimming, especially when you do your training in a pool. This drill serves multiple purposes to teach and help break the monotony that comes with 5,000-meter swims.

This week's set follows the theme of learning how to pace yourself from start to finish through a workout.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 16, 2012
Freestyle technique is your focus in the first half of the set. Putting that technique into practice with a classic 10 X 100 is your focus on the second half.
Freestyle - Inner-Elbow Extension
The problem with way too many swimmers is that they take a very long path to the catch. One of the most common long paths: crossing over prior to extension.

Freestyle - Flutter Kick Fix
Determining what path a swimmer will take to fix a problem with their stroke, is sometimes a trial-and-error process.
Freestyle - Power Elbow
Developing power and the proper pull for freestyle takes an understanding of where real power comes from.
Pic of the Week - Freestyle
This week's Pic is of a distance freestyler in the middle of a fast swim.
Freestyle - Ankle Pull Buoy
Maintaining a stable core is an important part of a good freestyle. This standard drill is a good one to help accomplish this.
Freestyle - Sneaking Up on Air
Here's a quick and simple drill to help you build a low breath in freestyle.
