Doggy paddle

So now we are on to working the pull. Of course we get some good sculling in, but also like to do some dog paddle.

Head up with freestyle kick. The hands go in a digging motion. I have them try to not move their elbows and dig their hands below the elbow.

This motion helps with creating the EVF (early vertical forearm). Many times the swimmers have a hard time with pressing the hand down to create the EVF and they have some fun with the doggy paddle idea.

This goes right into some freestyle where they now extend and then try to recreate the press they did on the doggy paddle.
