The Windmill Drill focuses on the body rotation and core control of the freestyle stroke.

Swimmers doing this drill create a “windmill” stroke by exaggerating the arm movements and pointing their fingers to the ceiling mid-stroke in order to create a windmill-like pattern. Doing this helps to ensure that the body is properly rotating and creates easier breathing patterns.

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.
