What is sculling
For swimmers serious about improving and the parents supporting them, join the Swim Accelerator community: https://skool.com/swim-accelerator There is one technique that I rely on more than anything else when teaching swimmers the mechanics of swimming. It's sculling. Most sessions will have at least a few lengths of sculling, whether it's part of a warm-up, cool down or even part of the main set. Learning how your body moves, manipulates, and feels in the water is a crucial part of increasing both your speed and efficiency in the water.
There are several ways to practice your sculling. If you are a beginner, try using a pull buoy between your legs to help with buoyancy and body alignment. If you are an intermediate to advanced swimmer, try sculling without any assistance. This means no kicking as well. If you kick, you will rely more on your legs instead of focusing on your ability to grab the water and get the best catch possible.
