Stroke drills are fun, challenging and add variety to work-outs. I incorporate drills to work parts of the stroke and then we put it all together and try to swim the "perfect stroke." Drills can be added to any part of the work-out, as a warm-up set, after a sprint set, as the set, or at the end of the practice. I like to drill at the beginning of practice when the swimmers are fresh , but I also like to drill at the end of practice, because this gets the kids to think about good mechanics when they are tired. A swimmer who has solid technique and good work-out habits will be successful.

During the past four years, I coached MSJA’s top age-groupers, who ranged in age, from 9-13. Our goal for this age-group is to have our athletes become good IM swimmers. Therefore we focused on the overall stroke progression of each stroke concentrating on technique, starts and turns.

During the early season, included in every practice was sculling, stroke drills, kicking drills and distance per stroke (DPS) sets. During the first week, we concentrated on free and back and the main emphasis was on body position. The first thing I try to get the kids to do is swim long and swim on their sides. I also gave them some drills that worked their entry, recovery, sweeps and kick. The second week, we worked on fly and breast. During this early season phase, my main fly emphasis is on hips and rhythm. For breaststroke, mainly I work on parts of the stroke (pull, kick, timing, wave action, etc.). We don’t do too much full stroke breaststroke at this time. Mostly, we drill. During the third week, we worked on one stroke per day and each swimmer was video taped on the "stroke of the day,". The following day, I had the swimmers come early to watch their video. I also gave each swimmer a stroke tip card that listed the positive aspects of their stroke and what they needed to work on. Their warm-up set for the day was "concentration 25’s" where they work on stroke problems that I had observed.

Throughout the duration of the season, my cycle training regimen included endurance training (endurance - aerobic, endurance 2 - anaerobic threshold and endurance 3 - overload/vo2max), speed work, power sets, lactate tolerance, race pace, race strategy, drills, games and dry land training. October through December, our stroke goal was to build yards of "holding stroke." In October, after series of drills, I would have the swimmers go a set of 10 x 25’s trying to maintain stroke count and hold the "perfect stroke." By November, we were mixing drills and 50’s of "holding stroke." Here’s an example of a Fly set we did:

75 Fly drill on the 1:20 + 50 Concentration Fly (holding stroke) on the 1:00 - - 8 times through.

Drill by 25’s: Wind-ups; 2 up-4 down; Single

Double

"Concentration Fly" is where I have them focus on on two aspects of the stroke.

In December, a few weeks before our first championship meet, we were up to short sets of 100’s stroke.

During this three month phase, stroke drills and skill work (starts, turns, streamlines, finishes, break-outs) made-up 50% of our daily training plan. During this time, I like to incorporate drills that work distance per stroke, tempo and distance per stroke with speed. One of the stroke sets we do is 6 x 50’s where the swimmers add their stroke count and time together and log their best total. Above is a sample of our weekly training plan, normally 1 hour 45 minutes - 2 hours per day: Dryland training is on Tuesday and Thursday, 30 minutes before practice.

In January and February I ran "Teal and Black winning edge swim clinics" for my swimmers. These clinics catered to all of the age-groupers, both the lower level and upper level. To make these clinics special, they were by invitation only; they came to practice a half hour early and got to go home early - when the rest of the group was still working out. I handed out invitations and had the swimmers RSVP. I limited each clinic to 10 swimmers. Last year, I had 32 swimmers in my group. I offered 8 clinics and each swimmer was invited to at least two clinics. At these clinics, we watched swim videos, I gave them stroke hand-outs, and every swimmer received a small token for coming (cap, key chain, water bottle, etc.). We spent about 1/2 hour in the classroom and then got in the pool for 45 minutes and focused exclusively on swimming skills. I offered these clinics: 1) Butterfly, 2) Backstroke, 3) Breaststroke, 4) Freestyle, 5) Backstroke starts and turns - the winning difference, 6) Off to a fast start (keyhole starts and break-outs), 7) IM Turns and 8) Racing Tactics.

In March, we fine-tuned our strokes and got ready for the Far Western Championships, where incidentally, we placed fourth in only our fourth year of existence.

During our long course season, because of pool limitations, our swimmers were only able to train long course 1 - 3 times per week. To work stroke efficiency, when we got to swim meters we did a lot of stroke counting while swimming fast. I even did a set where the swimmers had to swim backstroke with their eyes closed and open their eye when they thought they were at the 25 meter mark. They got pretty good at doing this and in meets they were confident swimming meter backstroke, because they knew where they were without having to look around. During the long course season, we also did a lot of videotaping. We used the coach scope, had a parent put on some scuba gear and tape the swimmers from all different angles and of course, we used the standard, above water taping. In August, at our age-group monthly awards, I gave each swimmer a personal video tape of themselves which included a tape of their very own 200 IM, the one we submitted to ASCA, and various underwater taping. I had a parent edit these tapes with some music - - "ocean sounds" and the kids really liked these.

In May, I read about the National Stroke Championship and decided right away that we would enter this event. I think this is a really neat swimming competition. Swimmers are recognized for their ability to have good stroke mechanics rather than be rewarded for speed, genetics and strength. I believe that each has its place in swimming.

At MSJA, we do over 150 drills. Some of these drills, I learned at coaches clinics, some, I picked up from magazine articles and swimming books written by successful coaches, but many I developed on my own to "fix" or concentrate on parts of the stroke. The following is a sample of some practices and how I incorporate drills and stroke work into my daily plan:
