Use the second drill as a progression from the first, and then into full stroke swimming, perfecting the high elbow.

Double touch gets the swimmer to also work on lead arm stability and core stability for a longer period. Also, one drill might work for one swimmer and one drill for another.

So youโ€™re shooting down one drill for a similar drill to make yourself look smart?

Finger drag can be cheated because swimmers will drag further away from the body to avoid the necessary rotation. Hip-shoulder-head tap teaches high elbow recovery yes, but it also forces the swimmers to rotate to their side and improves the balance and strength required to hold that position. At the absolute minimum, this drill serves as part of a progression. It really depends on what skill youโ€™re trying to emphasize
