HELLO, WELCOME TO UNDER PRESSURE SWIM BLOG. TODAY WE WILL
BE GOING INTO AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO SPRINTS .

These specific sprints are helpful on watching out for

your stroke. When a person tends to swim faster their
stroke technique tends to start lacking. With placing the
Kaatsu bands around your upper arms and placing a
resistance band or bungee around your waist, you are now
prepared to start the drill. This drill is made for you to
sprint as far as you can with the bungee around your waist,
to see both how far along you are and what improvements you
still need to fix. This drill easily helps coaches detect
when you are doing something wrong with your swim
techniques. This drill specifically with see you doing
said issue even more drastically because you won't only for
compensating for being tired but also trying to push
farther due to the bungee pulling you back. If you were to
constantly do this drill wrong with the Kaatsu band on,
your muscles will become accustomed to doing the drill like
that so that is why it is advised to do the drill correctly
so that it is programed into your muscle memory. Through
this drill you should also be thinking about your
underwaters and breakthrough stroke.

INCORRECTLY

Swimmers completing this drill incorrectly

usually don’t focus on their underwaters
and breakout stroke, already starting off
their sprint slower than it could be.
Their stroke can also be seen
deteriorating throughout the sprint and
some of them tend to give up before they
achieve the farthest, they can go.
CORRECTLY

The swimmers do the drill correctly focus

on their underwaters and breakout stroke.
Their stroke also does not seem to fall
apart throughout the whole sprint allowing
them to keep pushing instead of giving up
when the drill becomes to challenging.
