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 Delayed Recovery Freestyle, a drill that works on the finish of the stroke while also checking your swimmers in with their rotation and body position. It is also a great drill to remind your swimmers to stay long in front with their lead arm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To perform the drill, your swimmers will simply pause at the back end of their stroke following their underwater pull. This \u201cpaused\u201d position will be similar to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swim-drill-of-the-week-hand-lead-kick\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hand lead balance kick<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> drill or the kicking portion of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-drill-of-the-week-six-kick-dps-with-jimmy-feigen\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">six kick DPS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with one arm fully extended and one arm down close to the side. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what makes this drill different is that you only want your athletes to pause briefly at the back end of the stroke before continuing with their normal recovery. The result will be a slightly \u201chitchy\u201d freestyle that is should be performed slowly to check in with all aspects of their stroke. Obviously, if your swimmers are dropping their elbow or finishing short in their strokes this is a great drill to spot that and correct it, as they are literally pausing at the end point of their pull. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this is also a good drill to remind your swimmers about proper body position and extension. When they are in that brief paused position your swimmers should keep their lead arm steady and extended in front through the finish of their stroke, reminding them not to initiate their pull early. Also, when they\u2019re paused you will be able to see any delays in their hip or shoulder rotation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you switch back to full stroke swimming, make sure your athletes are not keeping the pause at the end of their stroke. This is a great drill to add to the end of balance or underwater pull drill progressions to remind your swimmers to have long, efficient stroke. 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 Swimming World will be
