Sometimes the best drills, are the simplest drills. This is far and away my favorite drill to enforce the high elbow catch in swimming. It's really simple to toss into your next workout and give immediate feedback if you are dropping your elbows.

I started doing this drill a few years ago and it has remained one of my favorites.

Yup! Has been a favorite drill of mine for awhile and I teach it to all my athletes. Doesn't matter if your elbow is already high, it's still great to throw in from time to time.
