A 4 BK is asymmetrical and is caused by uneven hip twists. It is not common to see a 4 BK. I respect your opinions and offer my own opinions. There are many ways of thinking about things, but don't call them "proof". I see that you're willing to double-down on your "proof". I'm not going to argue. There are plenty of opinions masquerading as proof on the internet. Last edited by Superfly : 12-07-2013 at 01:59 PM. |

So head led flutter kick with side rotation, if you add the 6bk proper timing, becomes NAD. But again, find me a single occurrence of it being done, what I'd call a proof. Or better still, record one, I mean your version of head-led BR with a 2bk for instance... NAD is this, plus a valid kicking pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHSYQ6BaM2A It is not a matter of point, it is a matter of drill definition. As soon as you take the continuous body rotation momentum away, call it whatever you want mate, it ain't my drill anymore. Last edited by CharlesCouturier : 12-07-2013 at 07:57 PM. |

I tried a-no-arm-drill today ... not as easy as it looks! :D Made it up and down the pool a few times, didn't feel like I was drowning, but struggled to get any forward motion or rotation that wasn't dependent on / locked into the kick. My sculling got "better" but I couldn't find the pattern of overall movement/co-ordination. I do a 2bk which is probably wrong too but I don't want to throw yet more variants into the mix.

So. In comparison with Speedo's rotation drill. First off, the coach mentions that rotation must be 180deg. That is not the case with NAD. Rotation angle when swimming the free shouldn't exceed 60deg. Then, the most important aspect is that NAD is first and foremost a work on momentum. As soon as I see a body side stalled in side position (180deg makes it worst), well that's no longer NAD. It defeats the purpose. When the goals are significantly different, we're no longer facing the same drill. Challenges are just not the same (at all). The key component of my works is momentum. Remove that and I deny the result as being similar to what I'm working hard on defining, and teaching. Last edited by CharlesCouturier : 12-08-2013 at 12:05 AM. |

Could you clarify the angles thing (which has been a puzzle to me for ages) - Speedo's 180' angle is 90' off the horizontal to one side and then 90' off the horizontal to the other ... - your 60' angle is 30' off the horizontal to one side and then 30' off the horizontal to the other. Is that right?? You posted somewhere (I think) about how to get the sculling motion right, but would you repeat any guidance on that here please?

![]() Wow take a few days off due to illness and the forums go crazy!
You can't have a foot on both sides of the fence it seems when doing 1 armed drills. Charles version, and my version...are two different things for two different purposes. There is no good or bad, correct or incorrect. I prefer non stroking arm to remain molded to the side without sculling for momentum as this can cover up things you're trying to discover with the rest of the body movements. Coversly the sculling can add to understanding about how momentum can carry over into the next movement of the cycle. Both can work, but know what and why you are doing what you are doing. When I am done being sick I will make some videos to demonstrate. These 1 armed versions I am discussing are available in the 10 lesson easy freestyle series.

![]() Suzanne, in your version of the one-armed drills do you recommend a 2bk or a 6bk? Get well quick, we need you!
