GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - April 5, 2013
0 commentsSomething for everyone this week: kick, pull, choice, and tethers...always fun.
Main Set Thursday - All fins to save the shoulders
Needed to give the shoulders a little break today, so did this main set entirely with fins (except at the end) and mostly kick.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 1, 2013
Our Set of the Week incorporates our Drill of the Week. Think it looks too easy? Make sure you do it with NO FINS.

Recovery set this week. Lots of fins, kick, drills, and easy swimming (except at the end :).
Swimming Set of the Week - November 30, 2012
Kick set this week. Actually, it's four short kick sets...one in each stroke.
Butterfly - Dolphin/Breast Kick Combo
Many swimmers, especially masters swimmers, find it so challenging to do dolphin kick on their back that they just give up. By combining dolphin kick and breaststroke kick, you can learn this important skill and not feel like you're drowning or going backwards.
Main Set Wednesday - When the Ball's in Your Court...
Barbara's masters group used their kick day to accept Glenn's challenge to do just a little bit more with the Head-Up Dolphin drill.
Main Set Wednesday - Head-Up Dolphin
Thanks to Barbara for throwing down the gauntlet to my noon masters group. When they saw Barbara's group doing the Head-Up Dolphin drill, they said... WE WANT TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE!
Butterfly - Head-Up Dolphin Kick
Finding "fun" and challenging ways to keep practice intriguing for swimmers is partly what drills are all about. It's even better when these drills tax the swimmers' bodies so that physical conditioning also takes place.
Swimming Set of the Week - October 12, 2012
Following this week's kick theme, the set of the week features two kick sets.
Main Set Wednesday - Pumped-Up Kicks
We did some pumped-up kick sets this morning, using equipment and body weight to intensify the effort and keep it fun.
Main Set Friday - Kick Sets and Aquatic Triathlon
6 X 50 (25 freestyle + 25 backstroke); minimum of two underwater dolphin kicks off each wall
Main Set Thursday - Beginner Lane Breast & Flips
Working on breaststroke kick and flip turns with the "technique group" today.
Turns - Practice Pushoffs
Swim practice is always a great place to actually... practice... techniques that you'll be using in races.
