Here are the recommended drills from the Warmup/Subset and Swimdown sections of each of the bottles.

These movements have been meticulously thought through and will get you ready to swim the mainset most effectively with some skills and drills and the HR being elevated through some faster swimming in the subset.

The swimdown was carefully prepared in order to polish and restore a tired stroke post mainset and have you leave the pool with your technique in the best possible shape ahead of your next session.

SFT SWIM DOWNBy using all your swim aids we artificially restore your swim technique.

Here are the specific drills and skills that you should be familiar with that accompany the Tech Bottle.

Feel for the WaterDrills that make the water feel more solid for the hands will really help.
