Tim Don is a class act. Chatted my bro up at st george, as real and as genuine and kind as they come.

[@yoshijlee]

As a coach that has swam at many competitive levels, I approve of all these drills being effective in improving swimming technique!

best coaches ever!!!

[@jetmenis9823]

Hi. Great drills! I also teach them at my swim lessons. Can I just ask something. I noticed that most triathletes don't make use of high elbow when they compete especially when they are breathing its like a regular circle on arm recovery. Is this loss of efficency or is this more effective for open water. Thanks

[@JulienMoll]

Thanks!

[@pae18sg]

Great vid, just what I needed.. considering there are a plethora of swimming drills out there for me to choose & focus on 😩

[@tafadzwapangeti4405]

Thank you 💕

[@nuerphil1]

Thank you two! Moving this weekend to a flat next to the swim hall 😅 Let’s see how far I come

[@supertri]

Let us know how you get on 🏊‍♂️

[@bro7269]

Great tips! I’m still amazed at how technical swimming is. With one sprint race behind me I’m trying for some longer races and I’m just realizing now how difficult longer swims can be. I have about 6 months before my goal race (70.3) so I have my work cut out for me. Great video.

[@LeviADance]

I got 6 weeks 😂 fingers crossed I can pull myself together in the swim

[@abdullahkesici5267]

Teşekkürler. Sağlıcakla kalın.

[@bennymud]

What a great video. it's only over the past few months i've realises how technical swimming is. I'm partaking in my first full ironman in August, I'm gonna use all these drills over the next few weeks To try an improve my technique!! . i'll let you know how i get on.

[@martyf.8088]

Thanks. That 3/6 drill is hard, especially to my weak side.

[@supertri]

Keep at it 🏊‍♂️

[@wp8336]

How many percent of training should drills take? Great video 👊🏼🔥

[@supertri]

It depends on your current ability/swim background! Dedicating some drills into each swim session is a good idea 🙌

[@agneskardasz9531]

there is no point in training for speed if your technique sucks. You're just reinforcing the bag habits. you can easily have drills be 75% of your workout - and truly focus on doing them as clean as possible. You should be mentally exhausted after a swim session.

[@augustineva1909]

സൂപ്പർ 👌👌

[@marklewis7484]

To you

[@marklewis7484]

To me

[@mikegriisser]

i'm trying to watch the swimmer but cant see them clearly because a big ol "how many reps you need to do this" overlay is blocking my view. Whats the most important thing here really?

[@teresahild]

Your writing on the rotation didn’t allow me to see the actual drill in the swimmer, please remove it from being on top of the videos.

[@cliffordmwolf]

Good ideas, perhaps, but every time there is a demonstration of the drill, the swimmer is completely covered with instructions on repeats, you can’t see what the drill is. What a shame.

[@nmbrown]

Quite a complex explanation of what is normally called 6-3-6

[@marklewis7484]

To me
