Hi guys,
I have been working with a 15 year old elite swimmer. I see him once a week for 45 mins. I have worked with him for 12 months so far and we have made good progress in his kettlebell training and his swimming times.
We have mostly been using kettlebells, working on good technique for S&S and we are currently using 35lb for one arm swings and 50lb for two arm swings and 35lb for get ups. We will be introducing some wave loading for the get ups soon. We have ironed out problems with hip hinge, foot stability and we are currently learning good form for the kettlebell clean and kettlebell single arm military press.
He has improved his freestyle and backstroke to good effect with the most improvement in his butterfly. However, his breaststroke has held at the same time and not improved like the rest of his strokes.
My question is, does anyone have any advice or training tips for his kettlebell practice to help him improve his 'breast stroke' times in particular.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
