The Swimmer's Catch-up Drill - Better Freestyle Swimming by Using a Drill to Improve Your Swimming Technique The Swimmer's Catch-up Drill - Better Freestyle Swimming by Using a Drill to Improve Your Swimming Technique originally appeared on About.com Swimming on Monday, February 22nd, 2010 at 01:10:14.
To be a better swimmer, you need to improve your swim technique and you need to improve your swim fitness, two key elements of good swimming (you probably already realized they were needed!). Getting better at either could improve your swimming speed. Getting better at both could improve swim speed and efficiency. The catch-up drill is one of the many swimming drills that can be used to help a swimmer learn better freestyle swimming technique. Because it is a lot like regular swimming, once the catch-up drill is learned, the swimming drill can be used at almost any point in a swimming workout, at almost any swimming speed, at almost any level of swimming effort.
