This freestyle swim drill is called the Fist Drill and it involves keeping your hands in fists instead of using them as paddles during swimming.

This drill is great for improving the catch phase of your freestyle stroke. Specifically, this drill helps swimmers keep their arms vertical while underwater.

Using an Endless Pool current for this drill helps a swimmer feel how the water pushes against their forearms.

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.
