Swimming World will be bringing you a drill, concept, or tip that you can implement with your team on a regular basis. While certain weeks may be more appropriate for specific levels of swimming (club, high school, college, or masters), Drill Of The Week excerpts are meant to be flexible for your needs and inclusive for all levels of swimming.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week\u2019s drill is catch-up drill, one of the fundamental drills for beginning swimmers to work on their distance per stroke in freestyle. This is one of the best drills to teach young swimmers, as it helps to set a rhythm for their stroke by slowing down their tempo and reminding them to control the rest of their body while they swim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To perform the drill swimmers will swim freestyle normally with one exception: they need to wait for one arm stroke to be completely finished before starting their next stroke. That is where the name of the drill comes from, as one arm is always trying to catch up to the other. Once a swimmer\u2019s hand enters the water in front of them, they can take the next stroke. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With young swimmers who are just learning freestyle, it is common to see them taking many more strokes than they need to, sacrificing efficiency and proper technique to see how many strokes they can get in. Even when performing this drill it is common to see swimmers try and rush through, avoiding waiting for each stroke to be completed before starting their next. An easy way to make sure they do this is to require them to physically hit their opposite hand at the front of their stroke. You can see this from on deck and they will know whether or not they are doing it correctly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When done correctly, this drill should help lengthen out your athletes freestyle stroke and develop a smooth, consistent tempo. Make sure to remind your swimmers to maintain a strong kick throughout this drill to keep a high body position. Also, use this opportunity to check in on their strokes and make sure they are swimming with a high elbow catch and they are finishing their stroke by their hips. Once they are experienced with the drill, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-drill-of-the-week-catch-up-eleven\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lengthen the time between hand hits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-swim-drill-of-the-week-fingertip-drag-catch-up\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">combine it with fingertip drag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to work on different parts of their stroke at once. This is a great basic drill to use with our young age group swimmers repeatedly until they develop long, smooth freestyles.
