Stability-Streamline Kicking
This is a drill that I have been doing for a short time - maybe 3 or 4 seasons now. Basically I needed a drill that addressed head alignment and kicking issues that were happening during the breathing strokes. I noticed a lot of my best freestylers lifting the head slightly right before the turn for the breath and a noticeable lag in their kicking. So at the beginning of the next season I used this drill to keep the kick up and help them keep the head on the "energy-line" during the turn for air and into the next stroke. After a couple weeks of good repetition my kids were kicking and breathing better while keeping the body line throughout the stroke cycle.
