In the common errors and corrections segment, Eddie looks at five of the most common errors he encounters in the stroke and offers drills and suggestions to correct the error. Reese devotes a segment to the pullout before detailing the turn and breakout and the start and breakout. Through every segment of this presentation, Eddie offers what is truly a "non-stop clinic" on breaststroke including priceless "nuggets" of information that will offer invaluable insight into coaching and swimming the breaststroke.
