freestyle has truly been the cornerstone of the emergence and continued dominance of Auburn Swimming. In this 4-part video, Marsh shares the drills, skills, and echniques that have guided his Auburn swimmers to unparalleled success!

Excellent video. I partcularly liked the underwater swimming footage.
As a swim coaching I find tools like this useful for coaching and instruction. I encourage the swimmers to use these videos to improve their technique.
