and the hand and forearm act as a blade, holding pressure on the water throughout the pulling cycle. Sculling drills are great ways to practice getting into and holding this position. In addition to practicing sculling drills, swimmers can also utilize paddles to work on their catch. I suggest starting with small ones first and building up in size. Use only the finger strap (no wrist strap) so that you are forced to keep pressure on the water with your hand, in order to avoid letting the top of the paddle catch water and fall off.

It is so important and valuable to have positive images to mimic as you both drill and train your stroke. Regularly utilizing visualization to improve your stroke technique in practice will transfer into actuality while racing, as those good practices will become second nature. So go ahead and think BIG in order to start transforming your stroke into something that inspires you! AFM
