Pre-Tryout Clinic Day 1: Streamline, Freestyle, and Lane Setup

Warmup

What are the 3 things for streamline we’re working on?

Standing on Deck, demonstrate and say it.

On deck, review “setting up your lane:”

Set up your lane

1st person starts in the lane’s corner.
Everyone else lines up along the lane line.
#1 pushes off, does their activity, then moves over. Returns to the back of the line.
#2 can begin with the person ahead of them crosses the black line to the other side of the lane.
You can do anything when you return. Stay out of the way.

Get in and set up your lane.

3 x do a streamline off the wall. When you stop, or take a breath, move over and set up your lane.

Get out.

Turn your head to the side, chin above shoulder

Only move the head. Get in habit of looking to the side, then forward without lifting head.

Stand in shallow enough water so your back and head are flat at the surface.

Do not go so deep feet float away from the floor.

Stand comfortably with face in the water.

Best is to have the head aiming directly at the bottom of the pool.

Twist the head to the side.

Breathe in, and immediately rotate head down again. Avoid any motion with the back or neck to lift head up.

Keep 1 eye in water and corner of lips.

Inhale one deep breath, aiming face to the side. Keep feet planted on the ground.

Twist face down to aim back at the floor. Avoid lifting the head or back.

Do 1 length of FREEstyle with side breathing.

What is a 25?

Y = 3 jumps into the water where it is a little deep.

N = 3 times touch the bottom with your hand.

Alligator Wrestle.

3 x SL + roll around on your belly and back spinning like you’re wrestling an alligator. Rotate 3 times and take 1 breath as you do.
