Turns - Streamline Jumps
What's the single most important thing you can do to improve your swimming? Streamline!
Breaststroke - Single-Stroke Streamline
Teaching young swimmers to "finish the process" of each stroke of breaststroke is the beginning of a long journey of stroke building.

Turns - Pushoff Target
We can never stress enough the importance of good streamlining and push offs. Here's a quick trick to demand focus from your swimmers, both in and out of the walls.
All-Strokes - Simple Streamline
This simple skill is quite possibly the MOST important skill in all of swimming. While I know we've covered this before, after spending the summer coaching young swimmers at swim camps, it can't be stressed enough.
Breaststroke - Breath Control
To really excel at breaststroke, you need to be able to control your breathing...and not just the breathing in, but also the breathing OUT!
Turns - Tech Suit Turns. The last hurrah!
This drill is sent out to all our friends heading to US Masters Nationals in Atlanta this week. This will be pretty much the last weekend for the tech-suit era and, love 'em or hate 'em, they've made quite an impact on the sport.
