How do you have your hands enter the water softly on this drill?

i am sorry but this looks funny as hell

The purpose of this drill is tempo. His head and shoulders are sitting high in the water because the focus here is arm speed. Be sure you don't do this drill for more than 12-15 yards, otherwise you risk injury.

your head has to be inline with your body

hands must enter the water softly

lol youll get tired too fast ^^

the secret at this is stretching i little bit more in each stroke, less energy more forward motion.
