Bruce Lee: Be Water My Friend

I am always talking to my kids about Bruce Lee and his awesome quotes.  I grew up watching his movies and when I was older I studied his life and the things he had accomplished.  Click Here to read some of his best quotes.

The Magic Wand

This is a great tool to use for rotational problems in backstroke and freestyle. A 4 foot piece of PVC pipe or a broomstick is all you need to help your swimmers feel the hand-shoulder-hip connection. Follow the link and check it out Here.

Shadow Feedback for High Elbow Catch

Video: Shadow feedback
During a short private lesson I felt that my student needed to get out of the water and see what is happening, or should be happening with his elbow.  We got out of the water and used our shadows to feel and see what a high elbow is.  We followed up immediately with some single arm catch up and then regular free to see if it was sticking.  He had to work for it but there was a clear improvement in his overall feel for the movement.
