Butterfly Drill: Fish Flop

Butterfly Drill: Fish Flop

Fly Drill: Fish Flop

Explanation: Dive off the block with or without fins (I will typically do this with fins) and as soon as the swimmer hits the water they must go on to their side and sprint fly kick underwater for the length. When they reach the end they will go easy fly with perfect technique for the length.

Concentration and focus: The goal of this drill is to get the entire feel of the fly kick. When swimmers get to their side they are truly able to equally feel the upbeat and downbeat of the fly kick.

Look Out For: Make sure that you are watching all aspects of the kick. Make sure there is not too much bend in the knee and make sure that the kick is driving from the core and not the upper body.

As always, feel free to ask questions, etc.
