GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - May 10, 2013
0 commentsThis week's set integrates drilling and swimming...freestyle and backstroke.
Main Set Wednesday - Freestyle Technique, then Some 200s
First part of today's practice was all about technique and building awareness of rotation, kick, and hand entry. Then we carried the focus points into a set of 200s.
Main Set Thursday - Working Distance Off the Walls
Getting back to basics today with Barbara's masters group. Working streamlines, pushoffs, and distance off the walls.
Butterfly - Dolphin/Breast Kick Combo
Many swimmers, especially masters swimmers, find it so challenging to do dolphin kick on their back that they just give up. By combining dolphin kick and breaststroke kick, you can learn this important skill and not feel like you're drowning or going backwards.
All Strokes - Streamline Spin 360
Want to see if you've REALLY mastered streamline? Try holding streamline as you spin in 360 rotation.

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 Monday - Knee Your Chin!
Single focus today...getting the knees to the chin on all turns (flip and open).
Main Set Thursday - Count Your Strokes!
Inspired by Glenn's recent stroke-counting set, we decided to do some stroke counting with the masters in Vermont today.
