Competitive swimming means sprinting laps, but that doesn’t mean your practice needs to be the same. There are fun ways to gain speed and strength without simply racing your teammates.
Here are a few drills you can try with your team:
The Catch-Up: Have team members race with one arm stationary by their side. This drill can also be done by having swimmers push a kick board in front of them.
The Dolphin: Have swimmers drag a kick board under their feet, using only their arms to propel themselves in the water.
The Toddler: Like the dolphin, but this is simply a kick race, with participants pushing the kick board in front of them.
At the end of your season, get swim trophies for the whole team!
