Overview of the Triple Touch Switch (3TS) Drill

- 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.
