Whether you are struggling to maintain a high elbow catch in your freestyle or losing momentum in your breaststroke, small adjustments to your body position can change your efficiency instantly. We break down these complex movements into simple, actionable steps you can practice at your next pool session. Swimming is a skill built on technique, not just effort. At Blue Dragon, we focus on the mechanics that separate casual swimmers from confident ones. ### Short Axis vs. Long Axis Understanding the geometry of your stroke is the first step toward efficiency. We categorize our training into two types: * **Long Axis Strokes (Freestyle & Backstroke):** These rely on rotation along a center axis. Your goal is to maximize your glide and reach. * **Short Axis Strokes (Butterfly & Breaststroke):** These rely on an undulation pattern where power is generated from your hips and core, rather than just arm movement. ### Core Drills We Use We don't just tell you what to do; we show you how to fix the common mistakes that hold you back. * **Freestyle:** Use our 'Number 11' catch-up drill to master arm extension and high-elbow catches. It forces a flat body position, preventing the 'sinking' feeling. * **Backstroke:** Try our double arm pull drill. This forces a shallower, more effective pull that keeps your body high in the water. * **Butterfly:** The 'Flick Drill' is our secret for perfecting breath timing. If your breath is off, your pull becomes a struggle; this drill resets your rhythm so you stop fighting the water. Whether you are a beginner learning to breathe or a competitive swimmer looking to shave seconds off your lap time, these drills provide the blueprint for faster, easier swimming. ## About Blue Dragon Swim School At Blue Dragon, we don't just teach you to stay afloat; we give you the tools to own the water. We are a team of passionate coaches who believe that swimming is a skill built on smart technique, not just brute strength.
