If you want to help swimmers swim faster, you have to help swimmers swim better.

 

Improvements in skill drive long-term improvements in speed.

 

If skills aren’t getting better, sooner than later, swimmers are going to stop getting faster. 

 

Using drills is one of the most common strategies for improving skills.

 

The problem is that drills don’t always work very well.

 

And often enough, they don’t work at all.

 

I’m sure you’ve spent weeks or months of valuable practice time perfecting drills.

 

Only to watch your swimmers’ race without changing their skills all.

 

I know I have.

 

It can be a giant waste of time.

 

But drills CAN work.

 

If the right drills are used in the right way.

 

Using ineffective drills isn’t going to work, no matter what you do.

 

Better drills help swimmers learn faster and they improve skills to a greater degree.

 

Plus, those improvements come with a lot less effort.

 

It’s easy to find countless drills to improve your swimmers skills.

 

There’s very little information about how to decide WHICH drills to use.

 

Let's assume you can identify the best drills.

 

Using great drills isn't going to get you very far if those drills aren't used WELL.

 

Effective set design is the difference maker when it comes to using drills.

 

And there’s NO information available about HOW to use drills optimally.

 

That’s why I created How To Use Drills.

It covers everything you need to know about using drills.

 

You’ll learn exactly what a drill is.

 

You’ll learn the specific technical problems that drills can help you solve.

 

You’ll learn the specific situations where using drills is going to accelerate your swimmers’ skill development.

How do you actually go about deciding which drills to use?

 

We'll cover:

 

  • The different types of drills

  • The strategies for how to choose a specific drills to solve specific problems

You’ll learn the REAL role of drills in the skill development process. 

 

THat's critical for understanding how to implement drills into your training sessions.

 

We’ll cover three different approaches for optimally combining drills and full-stroke swimming.

 

These approraches ensure that improvements in skill show up when your swimmers are actually swimming.

 

Progression needs to happen for swimmers to keep learning.

 

I’ll show you how to use these different strategies at the right time of the season to ensure long-term progress.

 

That means your swimmers will be ready to go when it matters most.
