PHILLIP TORIELLO: Hello and welcome to Expert Village, I'm Phillip Toriello from the Avila
Bay Athletic Club. In backstroke, we have a drill that's known as the one arm drill.
And much like the arm up drill, what this is going to focus on is this is really going
to focus on your rotation, your body rotation. So, you're going to be lining up your shoulder
with your chin working on your reach, catch, pull, push. But during that succession of
technique, you're going to leave the other arm down at your hip which is really important.
So really, you're going to be doing approximately at 25, isolating your legs with the pull buoy
and just doing the reach, catch, pull, push, reach, catch, pull, push and much like the
freestyle one arm drill, it's really aiming to work on the rotation getting that shoulder
up and maximizing the distance per stroke. It'll give you a better idea as to how much
distance you're actually getting per stroke to kinda figure out which side you need to
work on or how much rotation you need to work on, your rolling, your breathing, all of those
factors.
