Fingertip Drag

 

Tuesday Drill Blog:

Fingertip Drag: to promote a high elbow recovery and to make you aware of your hand position during recovery.

Swim like regular freestyle, except your fingertips never leave the water as your arm moves forward during the stroke recovery.

You drag your fingers forward through the water, slightly off to the side of your body, focusing on good body roll and keeping your elbows pointed up.

Change how much of your hand stays in the water: fingertips, hand, wrist, even your whole forearm.
