 Swim Training Tips - VideoFaster Freestyle Swimming with Coach Eric Neilsen
 This instructional video, featuring Level 4 ASCA and multisport Coach Eric Neilsen, demonstrates some of the step by step progressions needed to obtain proper swim stroke mechanics.These simple focus points can be included in warm up, part of a main set or cool down. By breaking the stroke down into components, it helps you identify not only your strengths, but your weaknesses. Is my entry to wide, too narrow? Am I setting a good catch or dropping my elbow? Is my recovery relaxed? Sometimes just focusing on one of these can help reset your swimming stroke and help you find balance in the water. Repetition through deliberate practice while training in the pool or on the Vasa Ergometer will help you maximize your time spent training.
