Swimming Question of the Week - August 19, 2009
A bit of market research this week... about flutter kick.
Freestyle - Flutter-Kick Basics
Depending on the type of swimming you're doing... competitive, fitness, or open water... the ability to control your legs, and keep them productive, is very important. Here are a few key things to keep in mind as you work on your flutter kick.
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.

Breaststroke - Underwater Kick
This week's DOTW features Erik Vendt and one of his favorite breaststroke drills for working on the recovery of the kick.
Legs Ouch
Here's a nice practice that overloads the legs just a tad. Do it right, and you'll be wobbly all day.
Freestyle - Timing the Kick

Breaststroke 101
Breaststroke has a reputation for being one of the most difficult strokes to learn... and to teach. Here's a teaching sequence for the breaststroke kick.
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.
