THIS week&#039;s Dryland Tip from Dr. G. John Mullen is designed to help with a breaststroker&#039;s pull. <\/p>\n<p><b>Purpose:<\/b> Sand pulls mimic sculling motions and improve a swimmer&#039;s feel for the water. In the video, the athlete is working on improving the outsweep of her breast. The outsweep is a weak part in many breaststroker&#039;s stroke, as they have difficulties utilizing the shoulder blade muscles to start their stroke. Sand pulls improve feel and initiating the pull with the shoulder blades, moving the hands via the shoulder blades.<\/p>\n<p><b>Directions:<\/b> Fill a bucket 6-12 inches with sand, and then have the athlete kneel (while keeping their back straight) and move the sand back and forth. If working on the outsweep of breast (as seen in the video), have the athlete raise their arm overhead, then start the pull with their shoulder blade with the forearm remaining steady. Cue them to move the sand with their back while their hand is firm. This exercise can be performed from 30 &#8211; 60 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><i>Dr. G.
