The Sink Down Drill is a great way to learn how to sink down in a swimming pool. This simple drill aids in buoyancy awareness and overall comfort in the water. Swim training coach Paul Newsome covers ‘Sink Downs’ as the first in-the-water episode of Swim Training with SwimSmooth.

Sink Downs stress the importance of exhaling and not holding on to your breath for a more relaxed and productive swimming drill experience. This drill serves as preparation for the more challenging drills in the rest of this video series.

The Swim Smooth methodology helps all levels of swimmers and triathletes. The subsequent drills in this video series use the Fastlane, which delivers the smooth and adjustable Endless Pools current to Coach Newsome’s traditional in-ground pool.
