While 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.
This week's set integrates drilling and swimming...freestyle and backstroke.
Sure, we all know the FINIS Foil Monofin is great for training the underwater dolphin, but there's another great use for it as well.
The sports world is filled with stories of people winning by 1/100th of a second, or losing by 1/100th of a second. While a race can be swum perfectly, it's not over till it's over.
Two weeks in a row: a set that will keep the IM swimmers AND the freestylers happy (with some breaststroke love at the end).
I have to say, I'm not a fan of hypoxic training for masters swimmer, but I am a fan of learning efficiency to the point of not needing air.
Nice picture of a great triathlete working on her freestyle extension.
Short set in each stroke this week, with the FINIS Tempo Trainer as the Toy of the Week.
The pull buoy is rarely used to teach the ownership of balance, but by using it to shift the balance point of the body, a swimmer can learn more about adjusting their stroke.
There's nothing like being DONE with the One-Hour Swim. Now...where did I put those fins?
University of Michigan distance freestyler Adam DeJong shows us what great extension is in this pic.
Staying in balance for a smooth freestyle isn't always as easy as it looks. Sometimes it takes more than one to really accomplish the perfect stroke.
