Minnows Swim Practice Plan – Streamline & Flip Turns (9/25/2019)

Dryland Activities

Dryland – Streamline Roll

Find a partner. Lay on your backs foot to foot. Heads away from each other.

Get in Streamline position.

Roll together in the same direction for 1 full roll, or 2.

Feet must remain connected, and bodies should roll together to earn a “success.”

Fail when feet fall apart, streamlines fall out, or when one body turns but the other doesn’t.

Warmup in Water

100 IM Kick 2 x 25 position 11.

Split Up into 2 Groups

Group 1

3 x SL + Flip

Streamline beginning underwater on belly.

At the surface do a front flip with knees pulled in to chest.

Group 2

On the back, backstroke streamlines.

3 streamlines. 1 at surface, 1 at bottom, 1 in middle (depth)

Focus on getting the swimmers to fall underwater first, plant their feet on the wall, and grow in a straight line off the wall into streamline. Goal is to travel in a straight line.

Get Back Together in One Group

4 x 25 backstroke kick with fins

2 x 50 Free with fins. Focus on streamline and turning the head to the side to breathe.

1 x 100 backstroke swim without fins. Challenge.
