Essential Teaching Positions
for the In-the-Water Instructor & Swimmer
9 STEPS 1) Body Position • Arms extended and touching head • Arms higher than ears • Fingers straight ahead and underwater • Head in neutral position • Flatten back
![Page 5: TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced … - Haufler - TEACHING... · TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced Drills STEVE HAUFLER . Head Coach Orinda](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5aab2f237f8b9aa9488baf41/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2) Kick on the Wall • Grab above knees, instructors thumb on top • Long legs and loose ankles • Control Amplitude
3) Kick with a Board • Face in the water • Hold the board with straight arms • Arms touching the head • Arms higher than the ears
![Page 6: TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced … - Haufler - TEACHING... · TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced Drills STEVE HAUFLER . Head Coach Orinda](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5aab2f237f8b9aa9488baf41/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4) Kick without a Board • Chin should not be on the chest • Eyes straight down • Arms higher than the ears
5) Blowing Bubbles/Side Breathing • Out nose • Arms straight/lead arm hand on the wall or away
from wall • Ear rests on arm when breathing • Instructor should roll head gently to the side • Roll breathing-side shoulder up
![Page 7: TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced … - Haufler - TEACHING... · TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced Drills STEVE HAUFLER . Head Coach Orinda](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5aab2f237f8b9aa9488baf41/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
6) Side Kick with Breathing • Lead arm extended toward front • Other arm at the side • Instructor should stand on the non-breathing
side and control the head when the swimmer is breathing
• Turn the head to breathe and return the face straight down
• Keep kicking
![Page 8: TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced … - Haufler - TEACHING... · TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced Drills STEVE HAUFLER . Head Coach Orinda](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5aab2f237f8b9aa9488baf41/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
7) “Breathe Arm” with a Board • One arm on the board, arm straight, face in the water • Other arm also extended but along the side of the
board • Standing on the non-breathing side, the instructor
should roll the head to breathe with the area behind the ear touching the leading arm
• The swimmer will pull the arm not touching the board, and breathe when the arm is about at mid-pull
• The face must return quickly to the water, right after the arm begins the recovery and before the arm reaches mid-recovery
![Page 9: TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced … - Haufler - TEACHING... · TEACHING FREESTYLE Basic Progressions through Advanced Drills STEVE HAUFLER . Head Coach Orinda](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5aab2f237f8b9aa9488baf41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
8) “Breathe Arm/Bubble Arm” with Assistance • Instructor should place hands palm up at Position “11” entry • Swimmer places their hands on the instructors • When the instructor pulls hand away and off the swimmer’s
hands (one at a time) the swimmer will pull and blow bubble on the first hand and pull and breathe on the other
• The instructor can also hold the head with one hand while the swimmer is pulling
9) No Breathing Freestyle (preventing cross over) • Instructor should hold the swimmer’s head straight and keep
it down in a neutral position • Swimmer should not touch the instructor’s arms when
entering

Characteristics of Advanced Freestylers
• Well-defined catch early in stroke (after fingers point down, elbow bends, forearm vertical)
• Palm faces back throughout the pull • Head returns quickly in the line after each
breath • Arms extend forward – shoulders stay to the
side of the face and do not rotate down or in front of the face (only 30% rotation)

• During entire pull the hand follows a path at least as wide as the edge of the body
• Balanced body • Distance per Stroke – anchoring the
hand/forearm • Connectivity
