However, to keep things simple, you’ll practice the arm stroke movements one arm at a time. This allows you to sidestep coordination issues that can occur when you move both arms simultaneously. This also allows you to better concentrate on the arm movements.
The first swimming drill lets you execute the arm stroke movements with one arm while the other one is extended overhead:
This drill starts exactly like the previous backstroke drills:
Start the recovery above water with the other arm, using a correct technique:
Once you’ve finished the arm recovery, your active arm starts its propulsive under water phase. You practiced this in Under Water Arm Sweeps:
You should change the active arm with each length. Please practice this swimming drill until you can keep your balance from head to toes all the time, even during the arm recovery above water.

This makes this swimming drill more difficult than the previous one because the idle arm isn’t there to provide buoyancy to your head when the other arm ends its recovery forward. Here’s a video that demonstrates the drill:
