Main Set Monday - February 7, 2011
Not a major main set this morning, mostly short sets with a lot of focus, which I like.
Butterfly - Dolphin Initiation
We all know a good underwater dolphin kick is incredibly important in your butterfly. The question is... when do you start your kick?
Mini Set for Working Underwater Dolphins
If you go backwards when you try to do dolphin kick on your back, here's a mini set that helps you get a feel for what you need to do to move FORWARD.
Turns - Tennessee Targets
Our last in a fun series from Pine Crest School in Ft. Lauderdale. We continue to use the stretch cord as a target with an old standby drill, Tennessee Turns.
Starts - Entry-Point Variations
Where you land in the water for a start can have significant impact on how fast you transition to swimming.
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.
Backstroke - Underwater Dolphin - Size
To honor our newly released DVD, Go Swim Backstroke with Margaret Hoelzer, we're going to focus on the underwater dolphin in backstroke. This is a quick look at something Margaret discusses on her DVD... what size should your dolphin kick be?
