GoSwim GoldFebruary 17-18, 2010 Morning Practice - Doubles?
1 commentI have to be honest, I swam twice yesterday, and once this morning... and can't remember much of what I did.
February 16, 2010 Morning Practice - Free, free, free
This morning's practice did allow me to continue to work on my standard pace... which is always good.
February 15, 2010 Morning Practice - Just doing time
With all the snow, the normal pool was closed again today, so I had to venture to the local Y to put some time in.
February 12, 2010 Morning Practice - Back on the horse
I almost feel like I may be able to start categorizing these practices as Gold... but not yet.
February 9, 2010 Morning Practice
Loved the pool this morning. First time it was turned the other direction. It was the same distance, but it was nice to be swimming the other way. Small changes make me happy. :)
February 8, 2010 Morning Practice - Dig out and Swim
With over 20 inches of snow on the ground, just getting to the pool this morning was a chore.
February 5, 2010 Morning Practice - Drill and Swim
Back to basics first, then long pace-setting set.
February 4, 2010 Morning Practice - Let it Snow!
Few things worse than waking up at 5 am, driving 20 miles to the pool, and finding out the pool is closed.

We all do this just about every day, but when you're kicking, how do you push off?
February 2, 2010 Morning Practice - Reality Strikes
I jumped in with the Navy team for a few sets and kept up OK (they were wearing tennis shoes).
February 1, 2010 Morning Practice
I usually miss the "February Fitness Challenge" with my friends in Annapolis. Not this year.
January 28, 2010 Morning Practice
Tired and cranky this morning and a bit under the weather. Gotta do it though. :)

Put your thinking caps on for this one... it's good to have it written down and even better when someone is telling you what to do each time.

What motivates your swimmers? Is it seeing their names and times in writing... in public... ON THE WEB!!! :)
Freestyle - Flutter Kick X!
While this drill can be used with all kicks, the stability of flutter kick makes it the most effective for this particular exercise.
