GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - May 17, 2013
0 commentsShort set this week to wake up the connection between the catch and the core.
Pic of the Week - Teaching Breaststroke
Evaluate the picture first, then watch the video to see if you still think what you initially were thinking.
Main Set Monday - Air Is Fuel
Experimenting today with how changing your breathing pattern...specifically, giving yourself more air during the course of a swim...can affect your pace, speed, and energy.
Backstroke - The Wave
Most swimmers are familiar with the classic Spin Drill for building hand speed during the entry and catch in backstroke. This week's drill is designed to build hand speed as the hands EXIT the water on backstroke.
Equipment - Drag+Fly
If you're looking to add some resistance to a particular swimmer or stroke, consider the Drag+Fly. We were sent one of these a couple months ago, and thought we'd give it a try.
Breaststroke - Mini Pull
When most people swim breaststroke, they focus on a big, strong, powerful pull. There may be another way.
Swimming Set of the Week - October 26, 2012
If you're not swimming FAST at practice, you should be THINKING at practice. This week's set is a thinking set, requiring focus and core control.
Main Set Friday - Sideways Pull Buoy
Here's another set based on an old drill... that we added a new twist to.
Main Set Monday - Ankle Pull-Buoy
In what turns out to be a bit more torturous than it initially sounds, incorporating this drill for an entire practice keeps you thinking.
Freestyle - The Deep Catch
There's been a lot of talk lately about the straight-arm pull versus the bent-arm pull. Paddle versus propeller. Linear pull pattern versus S-shaped pull pattern. To figure out which is best for you, you need to experience both types of pull.
Main Set Thursday - Flag Day!
June 14th is Flag Day in the USA, so we did a little flag work today with Masters.
Main Set Monday - Pull Buoy Kicking
Incorporating drills in to practice sometimes involves more than just doing the drill.
Backstroke - Pulling on the Lane Line Again
Revisiting an old drill originally posted in 2003, some things just never go out of style.
All Strokes - The Crutch
This may be seen as more rant than drill, and some will like it, and some will not. Either way, the pull buoy is what it is... a useful piece of swim equipment.
