WARMUP: 400
WARMUP/DRILL SET: 450 + 50/300 + 50
(Beginner lane does 4 X 75.)
6 X 75 with fins on approx. :20 rest interval
Each 75 is swum as 50 of free/back combo (4 strokes backstroke/3 strokes freestyle) + 25 back or 25 free (alternate during the set). Your focus is clean and smooth rotation on the combo drill and building this rotation into the length of swim. When you roll from free to back or back to free, make sure one arm is fully extended. Take your time on the set. Feel long and stretched out.
