Four Count

A freestyle swimming practice drill.

As you stroke with your right arm, rotate and hold that position for a count of four (making sure to look straight down to the bottom of the pool). Extend the bottom arm forward while the top arm rests on your hip (remaining dry) during the pause. When you need to breathe, allow the bottom arm to begin the stroke so the head rotates as your hips and shoulders roll.

Purpose: to help you get the feel of full extension and body roll.
