Good morning!!!!

Improve your butterfly

Butterfly has a bad reputation among most swimmers as being difficult. They complain about having to race or train fly, and when they are allowed to choose their own races at meets, they avoid it. Swimmers have the choice of using a racing stroke or a survival stroke. Racing stroke is forward and fast; survival stroke is vertical ans slow. Most swimmers (particularly age-groupers) think butterfly is difficult because they swim survival stroke in practice all the time ans in races as soon as they get tired. Survival stroke is indeed difficult, exhausting, inefficient, and ugly. 

Standing hip drop (TRX for swimmers)

Today's post is about a TRX exercise that will help you strengthen your obliques and increase your hip mobility, while you'll be placing great demands on core stabilization. This exercise is called standing roll out. 

To set up your TRX you should fully lengthened it in single hand mode. When you're done with the set up, stand sideways to the anchor point. Now, there are two different ways you can place your feet. The first one (the one you'll see on the video) is to place one foot next to the other.
