Teammate Slingshots

Ryan Woodruff

This exercise builds off of the Teammate Drag. It is best done for a 25 at a time. Here is how it works. Swimmers are partnered, with one swimmer pulling (sprinting) and the other being pulled.

The kids love this exercise, and it really got them going pretty fast.

Here’s a video example:
