Main Set Monday - Sit Scull

Posted by Glenn Mills on Oct 01, 2012 10:16AM (3,106 views)

 Sure... it looks easy, but do it for a while, and you'll feel it in your forearms.

We wanted to have a little fun, and incorporate something completely different in practice, so we pulled out an old drill, Kick Board Sit.

This is a great set for a coach, as it's very easy to talk to people and help when they're heads are above water.  Enjoy, but after a little while, it does start to wear on the fingers and arms.

Main Set (short course yards):
 6 Sets of the following - 
 - 1 x 50 Kick Board Sit Scull - forward scull on the way down, backward on the way back.  In other words, you'll always be facing the wall at the other end.
 - 1 x 100 free - feel how your hands and forearms interact with the water.

That's it.  Enjoy

Would you ask them to work on posture on the board? Or is it just about the scull?

Posture will sometimes determine their ability to stay ON the board. This group is my masters group, and the combination of first time scullers, and first time board sitters was enough of a challenge. :)

This is fun to do when you're wearing a goofy hat and make it into a relay.
