Want a flawless high elbow? It’s time to draw the bow. 🏹
If you want to swim with a flawless high-elbow recovery and stop feeling wobbly in the water, you need to master your side stability.
The "Bow and Arrow" drill is an advanced, highly effective variation of the classic kick-switch drills. It takes some focus, but if you do it right, it will do wonders for your technique.
Here is how to execute it perfectly:
🎯 The Setup: Balance on your side and take 6 strong kicks.
📐 The Angle: Keep your recovery arm held out of the water, bending your elbow so your fingertips are pointing at a 45-degree angle toward the surface (just like drawing a bow!).
🦈 The Cheat Code: Throw on a pair of fins. Because this drill is difficult, fins will give you the extra speed and stability you need to hold the position correctly.
🚀 The Result: You will build incredible core balance, gain massive confidence, and naturally lock in a high-elbow stroke.
Stop guessing your technique and start using the right drills to see real progress.
