Swimming World will provide you with a weekly tip or drill from an elite level swimmer to make you a smarter and faster swimmer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week\u2019s drill is <\/span><b>Alternating Fly\/Breast Drill <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/fitterandfaster.com\/swim-clinics\/with\/scott-weltz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2012 Olympian Scott Weltz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Weltz explains that this drill \u201creally helps you get your rhythm down.\u201d It helps you to achieve a cleaner, longer and smoother stroke when you race Breaststroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alternating Fly\/Breast Drill<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is exactly what it sounds like. The drill is executed by alternating one full stroke of butterfly, with one full stroke of breaststroke. \u00a0The goal is to try to get that undulating dolphin-like rhythm of breaststroke into your butterfly stroke. Since the drill is to be done slowly, Weltz likes to do <\/span><b>Alternating Fly\/Breast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for 300-500 meters at a time in order to lock in his stroke before a race. Simply continue alternating one stroke of butterfly with one stroke of breaststroke, making sure that from shoulders to hips, your body position and movement is the same no matter if you\u2019re doing a breaststroke or butterfly stroke. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing Alternating Fly\/Breast Drill will help you achieve the optimal body position for maximum forward movement on breaststroke. Getting your hips up high will help you have more forward momentum, and you will be able to hold your glide longer on each stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm-up for your next breaststroke race or set with <\/span><b>Alternating Fly\/Breast Drill!<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FFT Drill of the week: Butterfly-Breaststroke with Scott Weltz\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/149890066?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
