Competitive swimmers know that even a minor flaw in stroke technique can mean the difference between first and last place in a race. Swimming Drills for Every Stroke gives any swimmer the competitive edge by teaching perfect form for the backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and butterfly. Unique in its focus on improving swimmers form in the water, Swimming Drills for Every Stroke is the perfect handbook for swimming coaches, parents, and swimmers at all developmental levels. This training guide provides the essential drills for all four strokes as well as for starts and turns. Accompanied by helpful coaching tips and focus points, these 91 drills enable swimmers to develop more efficient technique for faster times in every event. The drills show you first how to master the fundamentals, then how to refine each stroke. Swimming Drills for Every Stroke divides each of the drills into four simple steps: 1. Explanation. The method for performing the drill is described in detail. 2. Demonstration. Precise, sequenced illustrations of each drill are included, so you see the proper form and can roughly duplicate it. 3. Correction. Little by little, you rid your form of imperfections. 4. Repetition. Repeating the drill until it becomes second nature enables you to bring your new form from the practice setting to the race. By following these simple steps, swimmers can master the drills that will help them race to the top of their competitive ranks. Help your students refine basic swimming strokes, master competitive strokes, and discover the art of watermanship with Advanced Swimming: Steps to Success. This second-level swimming book, by master teacher David Thomas, continues the progression started in Swimming: Steps to Success--part of the Steps to Success Activity Series, the most extensively researched and carefully developed set of sport skill instruction books ever published. Offer swimmers 18 proven steps for mastering advanced skills. In Advanced Swimming: Steps to Success, swimmers climb 18 additional steps to advanced swimming success. This unique skill progression reviews and improves the crawl and breast strokes, introduces the new competitive back and butterfly strokes, and helps swimmers learn competitive strokes and turns. Each step: - explains why the concept or skill is important, - identifies the keys to proper technique, - helps swimmers correct common errors, - explains how to practice each skill in realistic ways, - lists specific performance goals for each drill, - gives swimmers a summary checklist for evaluating proper technique, and - lets swimmers proceed at their own pace.In addition, this advanced book takes swimmers through the evolution of the breaststroke, the sidestroke, the less commonly known overhand sidestroke, and the series of trudgen strokes.
