Streamline Swimming: You Body Balance In The Water

Trouble With Your Streamline Swimming

Here's a drill that will help you if you are having trouble getting your body into a streamline swimming position, when you are doing freestyle or backstroke.

The drill is designed for more advanced swimmers but as long as you can hold your breath, recover from a float and you do it in shallow water you should have no problems with it.

Oh and you don't have to do the breathing shown if it is too hard for you.

Even with all those provisos it's is still a good drill.

I am constantly telling my students to "remember how it feels" and this is the perfect example for that saying. As soon as your ready, close your eyes, do the drill and feel it. Then remember how it feels and copy that feeling when you are swimming normally.

Enjoy
