Freestyle Swimming Drill: Triple Touch Switch

Overview of the Triple Touch Switch (3TS) Drill

  • The drill begins with the swimmer's arm extended and their ear resting on the arm, promoting proper body alignment.
  • The first movement involves recovering the arm to touch a point halfway between the elbow and wrist, emphasizing control and precision.
  • Following this, swimmers return their hand to touch right at their hip, reinforcing a strong finish in the stroke.
  • This sequence helps develop coordination and timing essential for effective freestyle swimming.
  • The 3TS drill is beneficial for improving overall technique by focusing on specific points of contact during the stroke.
