GoSwim GoldOlympian Roy Burch - Endless Pool
8 commentsBermuda Olympic sprinter, Roy Burch, stopped by the Endless Pool Elite while at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix last week.
Main Set Shortest Day - December 22, 2011
How to celebrate the shortest day of the year (Winter Soltice is at 5:30 UTC on December 22, 2011)? With short sets of 25s!
Breaststroke - 3 Fly 3 Breast
Obviously, this can also be a butterfly drill, but chances are you'll feel the adjustments, or at least the ability to vary your timing more easily in breaststroke than in butterfly.
All-Strokes - Underwater Tempo-Trainer Dolphins
In case you missed the Olympics last week, and in case you missed how swimming was sorta in the limelight, you may have also missed seeing how important underwater dolphins are to a swimmer's success. As a hint, it's the first thing we've started working on... even for us old Masters swimmers.
More Pace Work
The clock is ticking on the Kingdom swim, and while I've been spending more and more time in the open water, we can't always just hop in the bay.
Freestyle - Connection Variation
Here's a fun and challenging drill that can help you learn rhythm and develop power for your freestyle.
Swimming Set of the Week - July 3, 2009
With all the talk this week about stroke count, stroke rate, dps, and efficiency, here's a short set that lets you play with all those elements. Four lengths for July 4th.
Freestyle - Single-Arm Variations
While we've focused on single-arm freestyle before, we gave only one side of the story. Since freestyle is the mainstay of swim training, here are three single-arm variations to help keep things interesting.
Freestyle/Backstroke - Tempo-Trainer Kick
Here's a fun drill that tests the upper limit of your flutter kick...and the lower limit of your Tempo Trainer.
Breaststroke - Building Rhythm
With it being election day, we're going to give two variations on this great teaching drill. You could also say that timing an election campaign is as tricky as creating a smooth rhythm in breaststroke. Too much too soon, or too little too late can give or take away the desired results.
Freestyle - Synchro Swim
Swimming stroke for stroke with other swimmers is not so easy as it looks. Try it for a fun and challenging set.
Swimming Set of the Week #2 -- October 14, 2008
Here's an alternate to set #1 -- for the mortals among us.
Butterfly - 3-3-3
Butterfly 3-3-3 is a simple drill that allows you to train fly longer, and keep your rhythm in check. We asked our friend McKenzie to demonstrate the drill (one of her favorites), and show how it's helped her develop her butterfly.
Breaststroke - Butt Head
To celebrate the birthday of my son and daughter, plus Father's Day, I put together this drill with my daughter. While it's an old and standard drill, we gave it a more youthful and edgy name to encourage the kids to think about technique as FUN.
