We have talked about The importance of rotation of the body in freestyle. I promised to post a video about drills to help you rotate properly. Here it is! We will go over three exercises. The first one is very similar to freestyle but without using your arms. Since you don’t have to worry about your arms you can focus on the rotation better. Try this exercise by kicking strongly. You will find that without the arms it is more difficult to stay a float. If you find it to distracting to stay on the surface and you want to just focus on the rotation try using fins. To do this exercise correctly you need to keep your head still. Moving it only to breathe. You will notice that the most challenging part is to keep kicking normally since your legs will also be rotating with your whole body. This is the part that you actually need to master with this drill. Once you get a hold of kicking while rotating you can move on to the next exercise. It is basically the same exercise but this time you add the motion of one arm. With this exercise you will practice breathing to one side and using the opposite arm. and you will also practice using your other arm and breathing to the other side. Yes! you know that one side that you don’t usually use? you will practice it like this. It is good to breathe to both sides because the rotation will be more symmetrical. Finally, the third exercise is freestyle with a pause. This exercise will make it obvious how much you are rotating. If you don’t rotate enough you will slow down fast. If you do rotate you will glide through the water better. Remember to keep your head still looking at a 45 degree angle, Moving your head quickly just to take a breath. I recommend doing these drills some time during warm up or right after warm up so you can swim better in the main set. When you swim at full speed try to remember the feeling of these rotation exercises and apply it to your normal swim. Thank you for all the nice comments on our past videos.
