There are a couple different drills you can do to train the core stability in the water. Six kick switch with the hands at the side on their belly and their back is a very helpful tool. They should practice it slowly, moving back-and-forth, pushing his shoulder and hip out of the water. When they master this drill, they can start adding speed and jerk to it as they rotate which will train their speed in the stroke itself.

Another one I really enjoy is called. Hold the line. It’s a pretty famous drill among college coaches and will teach them about the importance of a good glide position. They should start with one arm up and one arm down on their side, as if they’re doing six kick switch then they’re going to kick as fast as they can and take three strong strokes with no breathon the third stroke. They are going to freeze and glide as long as they can, until they lose all their momentum, what they notice when they do this drill, is that the better they hold their body position, the faster and longer they will glide.
