GoSwim GoldAll Strokes - Monofin Sprints
2 commentsSure, we all know the FINIS Foil Monofin is great for training the underwater dolphin, but there's another great use for it as well.
Drill of the Week - Body Dolphin with Board
Here's a quick drill we use with our age-group swimmers to teach a more stable body dolphin.
Turns - How Many Dolphins?
Even though the majority of time at swim practice is spent going back and forth, it's the switching from one direction to the other that is more important than ever.
All Strokes - Medball Toss
If you're looking for challenging ways to gain fitness for your legs, while adding a fun aspect to your training, medballs can certainly help accomplish that task.
All Strokes - Get-Out Swim

New Toy - Finis Foil Monofin

Main Set Tuesday - February 8, 2011
A longer set this morning which required some thinking, and pinpointing exactly what the coach wanted done. Just like yesterday, without attacking the focus points, it's just going back and forth.
Butterfly - Dolphin Initiation
We all know a good underwater dolphin kick is incredibly important in your butterfly. The question is... when do you start your kick?
