Over Switch is the last one in our sequence of front crawl swimming drills. It lets you practice an early hand entry during the arm recovery. This is to avoid the common tendency of overreaching during the recovery which for several reasons increases drag and can also lead to swimmer’s shoulder.

To transition into swimming the full stroke, do multiple Over Switches with 4, 5, 6 or more switches to get used to the rhythm of the arm stroke and body roll. Leave out the thumb swipe, and once in a while fit in a quick breath.
To inhale, don’t roll back as far as in the Hand-Lead Side Balance position, but roll only as far as needed for your mouth to clear the water. Then start to exhale as soon as your head rolls downward and exhale continously until your head rolls upward to catch the next breath.
Progressively reduce the number of switches between each pause until you inhale once for every 3rd arm stroke. At that moment, you are in fact swimming front crawl and using bilateral breathing.

Congratulations! You are now able to swim the freestyle stroke in a relaxed manner. This is a great achievement!
Don’t stop to practice these swimming drills however as they are still useful. For example, doing a few drills at the start of a each swim session awakes your senses and will make your session more enjoyable. And rehearsing the drills regularly will imprint correct swimming habits more deeply.
