Underrated freestyle drills that fix more than you think 🏊♂️
Drill 1️⃣
One arm on the board, the other arm resting by your side.
Breathe to the side of the arm that's down.
This forces you to engage your core, clean up your head position, and actually feel where your body is in the water instead of relying on momentum.
It's all about balance, alignment, and awareness.
Drill 2️⃣
Same setup, but now add a full stroke with the free arm.
The moment you add movement, the core demand increases.
You're challenged to stay stable while rotating, breathing, and pulling — without losing position.
This also lets you really focus on that working arm and the quality of each stroke.
Simple drills.
High awareness.
