This baton swimming drill helps swimmers focus on their catch and pull while lengthening the body.

The baton can be replaced with a kick board or other similar items, if necessary, but devices that float and can effect balance should be avoided.

This drill is great for beginning swimmers who can focus on their freestyle stroke, body rotation, and lengthening their body.

Coach Dominic’s narration and to-the-point scientific approach allows swimmers to learn safely and efficiently about different strokes that will better their swimming technique. Drills such as this one are fantastic for more efficient swimming.

SwimBox was able to film this stroke using their commercial Endless Pool in their own swim studio.
