Pre swim mobility exercises by Cate Campbell The Starfish Barbie

Australian swimming champion Cate Campbell shares with us her favourite preswim mobility exercises. This drill focuses on thoracic rotation.

Inhale on the first rotation and exhale to come back to the centre. It should feel like you have a broomstick running across your shoulders and down your arms keeping them straight at all times.
