This is all I needed to complete my understanding of the TI swimming movement. Although I am 82 years old and I am like a star at the swimming pool where I pracice, this tip is like the cherry on my cake.
Peace and all goodness,

This is exactly one of the drills that I use with my students and I posted in a previous blog here as you stated. In my blog (http://www.tribasetraining.com/main/learning-the-two-beat-kick-early), I also talked about another one that I use that I learned from Coach Helenita. I usually teach both of them and present them as an either/or type of thing…pick which one works the best and helps you feel the connection. Oddly enough, it seems that about 50% of my students use one and the other 50% use the other (I guess actually it is more like 45/45 with 10% not liking either…LOL). Here is the other drill:

Start in Superman Glide and use a flick of the right foot to drive the left hip down and simply extend the left arm (don’t pull the right arm back or go fully into the skate position). In this drill, you can easily return right back to Superman Glide and do the other side without standing up. You are simply feeling the rotation and forward extension that is created by your kick.
