Single-Arm Freestyle Drill
Single-arm freestyle drill isolates one catch and rotation side—balancing weak arms and breathing patterns without masking hip control issues.
Single-arm freestyle drill strokes with one arm while the other stays extended forward—isolating catch, rotation, and breathing to one side at a time. Breathe toward the working arm or practice opposite-side breathing for balance.
Keep hips level; excessive side bend means core support is missing. Alternate left and right lengths every 25.
Useful for fixing a weak catch side without doubling total yardage on full stroke.
Common questions
-
Should you breathe only to the working side in single-arm drill?
Both patterns help—breathing to the stroking side is common for learning; opposite-side breathing tests balance and open-water flexibility.
