Warmup
100 IM Kick100 FLY K on back2 x 25 Position 11
4 x 25 on 1:00 BK K no board.
Split up into two groups:
Group 1:
3 x SL + no K + 2 FLY strokes
No kicking throughout. Glide on SL first, then at the surface move the arms in the fly motion.Okay for the recovery, from hips to 11 to push the swimmer backwards.Thumbs aim down, and should be only part of hand touching water.Arms do not recover UP, or above the body. Natural to the sides and forward motion.
Group 2:
3 x SL on back + 3 BK after flags
Goals: Underwater first, lean back, grow into streamline. Long flat glide looking up with bubbles in SL.Stay in SL until you reach the flags.
After the flags, begin three strokes.
Count with your thumb EXITS the water, or begins the recovery portion of the stroke.
Get back together into one group
True or False Game
Everyone gets out of the water. Line up with a fair amount of space between each person. Two feet’s toes on the edge.
Coach: “If I say something true, you jump in. If I say something false, do not jump in. If you’re wrong, you’re out. Last one in wins. If everyone is out, I win.”
1st statement is easy and always true. “This is a swimming pool.” or something similar.
Then ask swimming questions getting ever more specific. “You must touch the wall with 2 hands on freestyle” – False. You don’t HAVE to.
Make statements about the coach that the swimmers would know. “My name is…” “I went to high school at…” innocuous innocent facts that are appropriate for a child setting.
