Technique Drills

 

Technique drills break the stroke down into constituent parts to separate out each movement.

 

 

Fixed-seat rowing drill

 

The Fixed-seat drill ensures there is no leg action when moving from the Release position through the Rocked Over phase to the Rocked Over position.

 

The Fixed-seat drill improves smoothness of the transition from Drive to return. It is also very helpful in correcting and improving posture by rocking from the pelvis and not bending from the lower back.

 

This drill can be done in 2 ways:

 

1) Arms Only

2) Arms and Body Swing

 

 

Instructor Tip: Stopping the drill at the Rocked Over position, this encourages the hands to flow smoothly throughout the transition from the Release position through the Rock Over phase. It also allows the user to concentrate on the body rock over from the hips and not the lower back.
