Freestyle - Mega Catch-Up Drill

This drill comes to us from our good friends at Almaden Swim & Racquet Club. Coaches Andre Salles-Cunha and Jason Martin. While we're not sure we did the drill justice, as Jason was quite the model, we hope we get the point across. Thanks Andre and Jason, we really felt this one. Working on an early catch is important for all strokes, but figuring out the best way to pinpoint your focus is pretty tough. Using a kick-board really allows you to concentrate on your entire body being involved.

@varmstead Did you ever find out if its better to have a snorkel while doing this?

[varmstead]

This drill looks like it would be good to combine with a snorkel so that one does not have to worry about breathing...True?
