The following are swimming drills that I use with individuals and groups on a regular basis. From those below I would select the drills that would be relevant to the individual(s) I am working with. Then use them in individual sequences to best help the athlete in question.
It is important to remember that drills should not be rushed and that those drills we are good at are probably those we least need to do !

On drills using the legs the use of fins can assist certain swimmers to assume the correct body position to enable them to concentrate on the actual drill rather than trying to keep themselves a float.
