swim drills

Stroke practice routines

Swim drills are structured exercises that isolate specific aspects of swimming technique, allowing swimmers to focus on particular movements or body positions.

Common drills target elements like arm entry, kick timing, body rotation, or breathing rhythm.

Coaches assign drills during practice to correct flaws, build muscle memory, and improve overall efficiency in the water.

We spent the first twenty minutes on swim drills before doing any laps.
