GoSwim GoldMain Set Wednesday - Flutter Kick
0 commentsGoing leg heavy doesn't just mean grabbing a board. Simply grabbing the wall can be a good start.
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 - Kick!
Inspired by Barbara's recent kick set, we also decided to overload the legs just a bit. Enjoy (the walk home).
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 Tuesday - Pit Stops
One of my all-time favorite sets... probably because of my love of auto racing. The ability to prepare for a quick change is important in this set.
Main Set Thursday - Beginner Lane Breast & Flips
Working on breaststroke kick and flip turns with the "technique group" today.
Breaststroke - High Heels Progression 2
Here's a remake of a drill we shot back in 2005. Even with many swimmers trying to get a shallower kick, for some, they've gone a bit too far in trying to reduce the resistance of the recovery, and now get nothing out of the kick at all... time to revisit.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 16, 2012
Freestyle technique is your focus in the first half of the set. Putting that technique into practice with a classic 10 X 100 is your focus on the second half.
Main Set Thursday - March 1, 2012
A mix of swim and kick, with fast kick becoming demanded by the end of each set. Reducing the amount of rest on the swim also makes it a bit tougher toward the end.
Swimming Set of the Week - February 17, 2012
A mellow recovery set or something more challenging...you decide.

It takes extra energy out of swimmers who have longer arms. Those who are not physically strong enough would easily get exhausted. more » -
