Paddle Push Drill #2

Check out the group doing the Paddle Push drill, with Tennis Balls.  One tennis ball goes where the Pull Buoy usually goes, and the other tennis ball goes slightly below the knees.  The paddle must stay on the head during the swim, including during the breath!  It's a challenging drill that teaches the athletes proper head position, while forcing the athletes to maintain a streamline all the way through the toes (keep in mind when viewing that the athletes cannot kick -- they have to squeeze their legs together to hold the 2 tennis balls between their legs).
