This video studies the progression through the BLABT rule in freestyle swimming, aimed at specifically improving freestyle rotation and timing with the help of 4 freestyle technique drills.
When swimming freestyle there are 5 main elements that you need to focus on; Body Position, Leg Kick, Arm Pull, Breathing and Timing of your stroke. Separating each of these areas out into simple progressions through swimming drills will make life much easier when learning how to swim freestyle.
Here at Propulsion Swimming, we recommend these 4 drills as an easy way to learn swimming freestyle for beginners.
-------------------------------------------
Swordfish - https://youtu.be/O2tM1LGXnH8
One of the most important drills you can do when swimming freestyle is swordfish kick and is fantastic for improving the freestyle stroke by concentrating on your initial body position and leg kick.
Shark Fin - https://youtu.be/AR2e7vHLnb4
Shark Fin, otherwise known as Zipper Drill is a progression on from Swordfish Kick; training freestyle technique, body positioning and breathing technique!!
6 Kick Switch - https://youtu.be/1rKCME8HfJY
6 Kick Switch Drill focuses on a critical phase of freestyle swimming; the transition between both arms during the pull movement of the stroke. It joins together the very simple drill of Swordfish with the initial movement of full stroke front crawl.
6-3-6 - https://youtu.be/-hT6Z2_C6DM
The freestyle 6/3/6 drill is a great way to improve your overall freestyle technique. This swimming drill is very similar to full stroke freestyle however, it makes you concentrate that little bit more on things like freestyle rotation and timing.
