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 a breaststroke timing progression that moves through three drills: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-faster-drill-week-separation-drill\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">separation drill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-swim-drill-of-the-week-2-kicks-1-pull-breaststroke\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 kick\/1 pull breaststroke<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-swim-drill-of-the-week-3-2-1-count\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3-2-1 count<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> breaststroke.

Separation drill will make your athletes more aware of the \u201cdead\u201d spot that occurs when there is a pause between the pull and the kick, an awareness they should watch for as they move through 2 kicks\/1 pull and 3-2-1 count and gradually build their stroke back together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these drills all play with the timing of the pull and kick to varying degrees, watch to make sure they are maintaining a good body line and pushing fast through the middle of their pull. Thoughtful practice of these drills will teach your swimmers how to find that smooth breaststroke quicker in warm-up and get them ready to swim fast and efficient. Happy swimming!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the supervision of a qualified coach or instructor, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the \u201cSwim Drill of the Week\u201d.
