Description
Coach Blythe Lucero has another amazing swimming drills book out titled, 100 More Swimming Drills. To swim better, we have to swim more efficiently. While good technique is the foundation of efficient swimming, it is difficult to achieve by simply swimming lap after lap. Ongoing stroke problems leave many people feeling unrewarded by swimming. Stroke flaws can slow a swimmer’s progress, and can even lead to injury if continued over time. For these reasons, swimming drills are a fundamental and ongoing element of practice at all levels of the sport. Swimming drills are the primary tools in developing and maintaining solid stroke mechanics.
Drill practice works by engaging both a swimmer’s body and brain in reaching for better swimming. Drills provide specific, repetitive practice, and immediate feedback. They teach a swimmer to maximize efficiency while minimizing effort. Drills allow a swimmer to concentrate on a single aspect of a stroke at one time, and then progressively build individual skills into a coordinated swimming action.Following the successful book 100 Best Swimming Drills, swimming coach Blythe Lucero has compiled another collection of the most effective swimming drills in 100 More Swimming Drills. The purpose of each drill is clearly defined so a swimmer can focus on a specific goal while practicing. Each drill is explained step by step. Drill Feedback Charts are included to help swimmers identify problems and make modifications. Underwater and surface photographs give swimmers optimal images to emulate as they practice.
