    This Freestyle Drill Tutorial (Six Kick Switch Drill) will focus on a critical phase of freestyle swimming; the transition between both arms during the pull movement of the stroke.

    6 Kick Switch Drill should be high on your list when looking for swimming drills to improve freestyle technique. It joins together the very simple drill of Swordfish https://youtu.be/O2tM1LGXnH8 with now the initial movement of full stroke front crawl.

    We will show you how to improve your freestyle technique in this freestyle tutorial, as well as pointing out the common faults that you need to avoid when you are trying to improve freestyle timing.

    This drill can also be combined with our previous drill Shark Fin https://youtu.be/AR2e7vHLnb4 as another training method, all of which combined act as great swimming drills to improve breathing when first learning how to swim freestyle.
