1. Put it just outside the flags to tell my younger swimmers that they can push-off when the person in front of them gets past the cone. 2. Throw it in the pool at a determined point and tell kids they have to underwater dolphin to the cone. 3. Throw it in and tell kids that they can't breathe until they past the cone on their sprints off the blocks. 4. Have a kid hold it while they do vertical dolphin kick. Creates a little stability in the upper-body. 5. Throw the cone in the middle and see which kid can underwater dolphin and pull it up off the bottom first. 6. Etc. |

Streamline and dolphin kick underwater with it held out in front of you like a torpedo head.

hold it in front of your head at either end and use as resistance for underwater kicking. Or a hat. |

For the day I shot this pic, Wonderboy got it correct... toss it in the water to show where to breakout. We used it for breaststroke underwater pulls, but it can be used for any stroke. Of course, all the ideas were valid and good... so nobody was wrong. Great ideas. |
