The first three videos, 'Getting the Feel for the Water', 'Swim Drill Basics', and 'Single Arm Drill' can be freely seen by all members.  Upgrade to a Silver/Gold membership to view the entire series to use with the training plans here.

Whenever you see a drill or a workout type that you are unfamiliar with in your training plan, come back to this page (Training Plans --> Using Your Plan) to reference the video drill if it is listed here. 

 *Note, your specific silver or gold training plan may or may not use all of the drills below.

SWIM GENERAL

Are you a new swimmer?


Are you having trouble getting comfortable in the water? Do you have difficulty breathing?  See the following video drill:

SWIM FORM DRILLS
In the Silver/Gold training plans, if the swim just calls for 'Drill' or '200 yards Drill', then use one of the 4 drills below.  If you know your weakness, use the drill appropriate for that weakness, or else rotate evenly through these drills.

You can also certainly work on 1-2 drills in the 'warmup' part if you need the extra practice.  Just replace 200-400 yards/meters of the warmups with the drills.  Keep the drills limited to 50yards/meters with a rest, then repeat.
