Check out our latest online video from coach Edward Borja on the best exercises you can do at home using your stretch cords or resistance band. These exercises can help you maintain a feel for your stroke even without the water so that your transition back into the pool or ocean will be easier.

Suitable for all squads, and even adult swimmers. https://youtu.be/ZjbWQXXd2_I
