While certain weeks may be more appropriate for specific levels of swimming (club, high school, college, or masters), each tip is meant to be flexible for your needs and inclusive for all levels of swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/finis-tip-of-the-week-breaststroke-with-resistance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last week\u2019s tip<\/a> looked at how resistance can help improve your breaststroke, this week\u2019s tip explains how you can use a bungee assist to work on the finer details of your breaststroke pullouts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, simply run a cord down the length of the pool and then pull in your partner, increasing their velocity along the way. They will do just breaststroke pullouts underwater while being pulled down the pool, trying to get as many in as they can before getting to the other side. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the bungee cord gives your athletes the advantage of having a heightened sense of any \u201cdead spots\u201d in their pullouts where they may be slowing down. Whoever is pulling them in may also feel a hitch at any point when they may be slowing down or catching resistance through their pullout. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing two or three lengths of this coupled with some non-aided sprints or pace work immediately after is a great way to apply this drill. Jumping from the speed of the bungee cord assist to \u201cnormal\u201d swimming will increase your athletes\u2019 awareness of the efficiency of their pullout and show them what corrections that may need to make to breakout into the smoothest stroke possible. <\/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 \u201cFINIS Tip of the Week.\u201d Swimming World will be bringing you a topic that we\u2019ll explore with drills and concepts for you to implement with your team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":366410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[56100],"tags":[25274,57717,79821,66329,63787,142],"class_list":["post-366409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drill-of-the-week","tag-breaststroke","tag-breaststroke-drill","tag-breaststroke-pullouts","tag-finis-tip-of-the-week","tag-finis-press-release","tag-swimming"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
