Why We Do It: Switch
drills teach powerful, coordinated, effortless movement of the core
body. Multiswitch (two or more switches) drills introduce swimming
rhythms (steady, rhythmic core-body rotation) to these movements but
retain pauses in Sweet Spot, to allow time to regroup, evaluate your
practice, and make fine adjustments.
Follow This Sequence
1. Start as in Drill 6 but you’ll do two switches before pausing in Sweet Spot again.
2. After you roll to the Skating Position, pause to check your balance.
Lean in to feel the support of the water, then sneak your hand forward.
3. Wait to see your hand before both switches. Keep your head “hidden” and look directly at the bottom through both switches.
4. Finish in Sweet Spot and breathe three times before rolling to nose-down again.
5. Start the next length on your other side: Look down … see your hand …
Switch … glide a moment … see your hand … Switch … Breathe in your
Sweet Spot.
6. Practice on both right and left sides until you feel yourself gliding
effortlessly in balance … and until your Switch timing is consistent.
