Swimming Total Immersion Drills
I went over to the pool tonight and did the first Total Immersion drill. It was “pressing the buoy”. Basically this focuses on swimming with the top half of your body pushing down into the water in order to keep the entire body in a straight line so there is less water resistance. After doing the drill a few times I actuall did the front crawl, focusing on pressing down the buoy and it really does work. It felt a lot easier to swim this way. I’ll continue to practice this until it is a habit, and then I’ll move on to the next drill in the book.
Besides swimming faster, it also just felt good to get a pool and swim. It’s such a great workout.
