Take 2 strokes right then 2 strokes left then 2 strokes both arms. Breathe to the side and let the hips rise to the surface. Do not allow the swimmer to turn it into a free drill. This helps to build coordination and stamina. Kicks are to be performed underwater not in the Streamline position. Use Fast Little Kicks not Big Slow Kicks. The pulls are on top. Do not allow the swimmer to breathe more than one time for every 2 pulls. Works on hip movement, breath control, and speed of kick. Kick with fins on side facing the windows or looking at the bleachers at all times so you train both sides equally. Fast Little Kicks. Swimmers should be focusing on the speed of the kicks.

Helps swimmer to get on his/her side and learn to rotate. Kick on back in the streamline position until the swimmer reaches the turn. Do a turn and kick as far underwater as possible. The streamline should be as tight as possible. Helps to build breath control and good body position. Both arms enter and exit the water at the same time while the kick is steady. Helps to make the swimmer aware of how they put their hands in the water. After push-off the swimmer stays underwater and uses the fly kick to go as far as he/she can then come up for air and go back under again. Helps to build breath control that is needed to perform the backstroke turn. After push-off stay on the same side kicking the whole 25, turn then go to other side. This helps swimmer to focus on each side and trying to find balance on each side. After push-off the swimmer goes to side and uses the fly kick the whole 25.

(the swimmer should be performing good pullouts on the turns and finishing the kick every time. Helps to build power in the kick and breath control. Same as the above but it allows the swimmer to get more air on the pull and to think more about the pull. They should put a small fly kick after the first pull going into the second pull. After the push-off the swimmer stays on his/her back and performs a breaststroke kick. They are to watch and see if their knees are coming through the surface of the water. They should not be coming through the surface. This is to help the swimmer keep the feet up high on the recovery and move through the water with less resistance. Can be performed with or with out fins it works on fast hands for a faster recovery. Scull in scull out. To be performed with fins. A great early season conditioning drill for breaststrokes. After push-off the swimmer uses one fly kick instead of using the breast kick. It also helps in getting the swimmer under the water and to use their hips more. Works best with fins.
