Swimming with closed fist is useful for more than just improving the pull. Closing the fist can also help swimmers improve their alignment as well. How? A lot of swimmers scull whenever they lose their alignment in order to stabilize their body in the water. Take away the hands and they can no longer scull to hold everything together. Now they can FEEL when they lose their alignment and creates the opportunity to fix it. I particularly like to combine closed fist swimming or swimming with tennis balls and alignment drills. Swimmers have to work a lot harder to ensure that great alignment is coming from the torso and not just through the hands. If they try to cheat with the hands, it’s not going to work. When they go back to regular swimming and open hands, it’s going to be a lot easier to execute and keep everything in line to create a ton of speed.

The ‘gallop’ is one of those skills that might not make a lot of sense on the surface. Why would swimming asymmetrically be faster?

Check out the video for an explanation as to why the gallop is an effective strategy when swimmers need to go FAST, sustain that speed, and get oxygen.
