Where did I get these drills? Good question! Like many swimmers and coaches, I have, over the years, accumulated quite a selection of books on swimming, swim DVDs, viewed You Tube videos, visited hundreds of websites, and poured over numerous swim magazine articles. I’ve also had countless conversations with other swimmers and coaches, attended and given swim clinics, and listened to analysis of swim races. Even in my own swim experiences I’ve had that light bulb go on for a new drill concept, trying it out in the water, then writing it up and sharing it with my team.
After drafting this eBook, I realized I needed to research and find origins of these drills. I’ve done my best, going back and trying to credit where possible. If I’ve somehow got one of your drills that you were the originator of, please do let me know and I will update to give you credit. In many cases, I found multiple sources for a drill, some identical, some with variations.
A listing of those credits appears at the end of the book. I put them there so as not to clutter up the drills for the reader.
I’m already at work on the next edition of this book (what on earth am I thinking, I must be crazy!) and plan to add photos and videos for each drill and embed them in the eBook.
Introduction
There's A Drill For That!
by Cokie Lepinski
Ever noticed how technical swimming has become? There are so many fine points to all four strokes. You really need to break the stroke and its components down and work on them separately, and then put the stroke back together. In the process of doing this, you begin to understand much more about the stroke and about yourself.
One of the best ways to refine your stroke, find efficiency in the water, and translate that to faster swimming, is to regularly build swim drills into your swim practices.
In this eBook, you will find 125 drills covering freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and even sculling. Each drill has a title, a purpose, and a thorough description of the drill, along with key points to focus on when doing the drill.
Not only will practicing drills help your stroke, your efficiency, and eventually your speed, drill work will also help liven up your practices, making them much more interesting and challenging. Doing so under the guidance of a coach and support of a team is even better, so find yourself a team. You won’t regret it. If you are a masters swimmer, check out www.usms.org to find more information on US Masters Swimming, locate a team near you, and see everything this great sport has to offer.
Dive right in. I hope you enjoy this eBook and that your swimming skills grow by leaps and bounds. Happy swimming!
