What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...
Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • With noodle curve behind body, hold onto side, feet under water against wall. Let go with hands and push wall with feet into aglide on back 
  • concentrate on body position and leg kick. 
  • Repeat until swimmer/s are able to move to 2 floats

COACHING POINTS

The noodle must be held so that the head has space to lie in the water.

  • Legs to be kept straight
  • Floppy ankles
  • Kick from the hip
  • Little splashes, feet just below surface of water
  • Head all the way back, eyes looking to the ceiling and ears in the water
  • Tummy should be pushed up so that it is just under the surface of the water If the head is lifted up, the feet will sink and the pupil will be in a bent position. Keeping the head back will bring the feet up.
