It’s all ideas I’ve learned elsewhere but it’s fun to mesh it into a focused practice.

I love it

[@feynmanc303]

Thanks. This is good

[@jeffreymiksis7621]

Thanks. Always open to suggestions on where to go next!

[@elizabethraub]

I am not seeing how the last drill with the pull buoys fits in. The rest of the conversation talks about throwing the arms forward. This drill focuses on throwing the pull buoy back. Can anyone share their philosophy on this one? Thanks!

[@sykhoihoang4324]

I don't know but I saw Caeleb dressel uses the butterfly arm motion ( one of the best 15-meter-start swimmers ) when he jumps and some videos claim that it is much faster than original movements.

[@performanceswimcoaching4601]

Thanks for the comment. See another below mentioning another swimmer and the different arm style. There are a few world class athletes that are utilizing a more butterfly like arm motion. I’d urge you to be cautious teaching that to young kids. You might find yourself undo’ing some habits later.

[@wangsus3802]

In the video, they teach not to do the butterfly arm motion, but they show it with a completely straight arm. Caeleb dressel does do a butterfly arm motion, but his arms are bent, sort of like how a little child might attempt to do butterfly for the first time.

[@rae6555]

The issue has nothing to do with wether the arms are bent or not. Olympic swimmer Brad Tandy utilizes a straight arm Butterfly motion and he has arguably the best start in the world. However, this motion is really complex even though it might seem easy at first. It's best to develop a good start without a butterfly motion first before trying this out. When taught to young swimmers they won't get a feeling of what it's like to get the arms involved correctly. I also did the butterfly arm motion for a while but now I went back to the classic arm motion and since my start has improved by a lot. Only when there is nothing more to improve I'll switch back.

[@andrewthomas8737]

Brad Tandy uses the fly arms start. Any comments?

[@miksis44]

Thanks for the comment Andrew. I think that there’s some behaviors that exceptional elite athletes can learn to use to their advantage. I think a coach would be making a grave mistake to push that dive style on to their entire team.

[@andrewthomas8737]

@@miksis44 I concur with you. Brad does have an Excellent start and breakout. Very well coached.
