Three-Stroke Switch Drill

This freestyle, backstroke, or butterfly drill helps with balance, and in the case of freestyle, bilateral breathing. Concentrate on a steady, strong kick as you do this drill•Extend the left arm straight out in front of you and hold it there. Take three strokes with the right arm. •Roll your hips, then extend the right arm straight out and take three strokes with the left arm.

Join our Masters practice for moreswim tips and coaching!

Stand in front of a wall at arm’s length. Reach forward from your shoulders and plant your palms on the wall, fingers wide, middle fingers pointing straight at the ceiling.

Firm your fingers into the wall and draw your navel back as you lengthen the tailbone towards the floor. Lift your ribs from the pelvis. You want to work with a natural lower back curve but an active belly.

Keep length in your spine as you begin to walk the legs back, folding at the waist, and walking your hands down the wall. Eventually you’ll come to an L-shape. If you can’t get there today without feeling pain or rounding in the lower back, bend your knees and maintain the proper spinal alignment.As you lift the navel and lower ribs into the body, reach long through the tailbone and legs into the floor while reaching the spine, arms and head towards the wall.

Repeat for 10-20 breaths, then fold into Fists Forward Fold once again. Move to the next pose after a few breaths.If done properly, this tried-and true asana can be excellent for spinal traction and back health.
