This one-arm freestyle swimming drill can help swimmers fine-tune their body rotation and breathing one side at a time. This video focuses on breathing on the active side. To find out more about breathing on the inactive side, watch Episode 14.

This drill also actively engages your core, as one side isn’t active, but the body must still rotate, and can help create a more efficient and faster swimmer.

It is key for this drill to keep the inactive arm extended past the head.

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.
