Halloween Practice Ideas
Spice up your swim practice this Halloween with these fun, themed drills. They're perfect for adding a little spooky creativity to your workout while still working on technique.
Zombie Freestyle
3 x SL + 3 Zombie FREE
Take three crusty, slow, jerking, hungry for brains freestyle strokes like a starving zombie.Move too fast and your arms will fall off, or maybe you'll lose a leg.
This drill encourages swimmers to focus on slow, exaggerated arm movements and body control. It's a great way to work on streamlining and stroke mechanics in a playful way.
Skeleton Backstroke
3 x SL + 3 Skeleton BK
You're all bones! Have someone move your arms for you.Drag a friend in SL, then do 3 BK strokes for them.They have no muscles to move on their own!
This partner drill builds teamwork and trust. The "skeleton" swimmer stays completely relaxed while a partner moves their arms, reinforcing proper backstroke arm motion. It's a fun way to practice body awareness and cooperation.
