Sample Practice Session
At home: Daily, about six minutes. See Dry
Kicking for Freestyle & Backstroke. At the pool: As often
as possible, go to the pool and perform the following drills. Perform each drill
for about 5 minutes, stopping to rest for several breaths at each wall. Remember
that these drills are about balance and posture, not about conditioning, so do
not kick too hard. Repeat the circuit two or three times, as time allows. Newer
Swimmers: (more advanced swimmers, see below) - Front
Balance Drill
- Breathing Practice: Holding wall, or standing
and sculling
- Back Balance Drill

Advanced Swimmers: If the front and back balance drills are comfortable, master
the following two dynamic balance drills, where you move from one balance position
to the other: - Back-Front-Back
Balance
- 4X90 Balance
