GoSwim GoldStarts & Turns - Up and Outs
1 commentHow you get IN the water says a lot about a swimmer. But so does how you get up and OUT.
Main Set Monday - July 16 - Cross Training
The two most difficult things about swim practice are... getting in... and getting out.
Main Set Wednesday - Speed & Strength
Following this week's theme of finding one practice that works for all levels....
All Strokes - Practice Stations
The goal of practice isn't just to make swimmers work. It's also to engage them IN the work. Switching up what you do from the standard back and forth can be motivating and turn into a great workout.
Dryland - Medball Chest Pass
Working on the power necessary to increase your quickness in the recovery of breaststroke, as well as increasing your overall strength, can be accomplished through a fun dryland exercise.
Backstroke - Starts on the Vasa Erg
Backstrokers. How do they do it? They swim upside down and backwards. They can't see where they're going. They use nose clips. And...they do THIS.
All Strokes - Physio Ball Dryland IM
This week's drill features some different and fun ways to use a physio ball to work on technique for all your strokes.

Dryland - EVF Isometric Exercise
EVF, EVF, EVF. Early Vertical Forearm is right up there with underwater dolphin as one of the key moves and key concepts in swimming. This dryland exercise will help you understand and FEEL what EVF is all about. And... it will help you develop the muscles that help make it happen.

Swimming Set of the Week - July 31, 2009
This week's set is actually several short sets that we combined into a stations workout for Masters practice this morning. The hula-hoop station was hilarious. If you don't have this exact list of equipment, just improvise with whatever cool equipment or challenges you can think of.
Figuring out Intervals
This practice helps figure out what intervals you'll be able to train on for future practices. It's tough, challenging, but loads of fun... for the coach.
