Stupidest Drill in Freestyle? Hot Take From Milo Cavic

Hey swimmers! This is coach Milo.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from you all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"Stupidest Drill in Freestyle? Hot Take From Milo Cavic"

Answer:

No drill is truly stupid. Every drill has a purpose depending on the goal.

However, swimming with one arm behind your back can feel unnatural. Still, drills must be evaluated by outcome. If they help achieve a goal, they have value.

Summary:

No drill is inherently stupid. Effectiveness depends on purpose and intended outcome.
