GoSwim GoldFreestyle - Straighter-Leg Flutter Kick
2 commentsWhile we've covered this many times before, it seems there's always a need to rehash that a "straight-leg" flutter kick really doesn't mean you don't bend your legs.
Swimming Set of the Week - April 5, 2013
Something 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.
Main Set Wednesday - Freestyle Technique, then Some 200s
First part of today's practice was all about technique and building awareness of rotation, kick, and hand entry. Then we carried the focus points into a set of 200s.
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 - Flutter Kick
Going leg heavy doesn't just mean grabbing a board. Simply grabbing the wall can be a good start.
Freestyle - Narrow Flutter Kick
Here are a couple ways to help develop a quick, narrow, and strong flutter kick for freestyle.
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 Wednesday - Drill & Kick Practice
To protect everyone's shoulders, we've been starting each practice with some dryland shoulder exercises, and using drills and kicking when in the pool.
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 - Legs!
Overloading the legs was the goal today, and from the looks of the team walking to the locker rooms... mission accomplished.
Main Set Monday - Pull Buoy Kicking
Incorporating drills in to practice sometimes involves more than just doing the drill.
Main Set Tuesday - May 15, 2012
We decided to really focus on the flutter kick today, so we focused on watching Scott Tucker's amazing kick, and then keeping that in our mind during practice.
Swimming Set of the Week - May 11, 2012
Every swim coach needs an arsenal of mini sets...sets of 8 X 25...that can be inserted at any point during a practice to break things up.
