Crossover Turn Drill

Heres a drill that will help your swimmers with one of the more difficult turns, the back to breast crossover. Enjoy!

Do you think it matters which way the swimmer rotates on the wall? I've seen it done both ways.

No

What are the benefits of doing the cross-over turn rather than the bucket turn? It's not faster but it could be more powerful? Keeps your body in better alignment maybe? Just trying to balance out the pros and cons. :) great video

probably a hell of a lat easier to screw up a bucket turn and break your toes

Less labor intensive, so easier to do in a 400 IM

Bucket turns take up a lot of oxygen compared to a cross over turn
