Two-Count Glide Drill

A breaststroke swimming drill.

Hold the streamlined (stretched) position of the stroke for a full count of two (one aligator-two aligator). Keep your head down and neck straight. In the breaststroke, be sure not to stop your hands under your body, but only in the extended position. Then, start the pull slowly, pitching the hands outward until they are shoulder width apart, and then accelerate your hands through the power phase (the in sweep), continuing all the way through to the recovery.

It's a good idea to combine this drill with double underwater pull-outs to increase the feel of gliding in the streamline position.
