Sharks Swim Practice: 10/24/2019 – Fly, Breast, and Underwater Work

Sharks 2Practices

Warmup

100 IM Kick100 IM2 x 25 Position 11

4 x 25 on 1:00 FLY K no board.

Split up into two groups

Group 1

3 x SL with 2 BR kicks underwater

Streamline underwater with nothing, then while still streamline and still underwater, do 2 breaststroke kicks to torpedo self forward.

Group 2

3 x SL + no K + 1 FLY Stroke with a 1/2 kick from "airplane" to 11

No kicking on the streamline until the very end of the arm stroke.

Glide on SL first, then at the surface move the arms in the fly motion.

Okay for the recovery, from hips to airplane to push the swimmer backward.

Add 1/2 kick

Thumbs aim down and should be only part of the hand touching the water.

Arms do not go UP over the water or over the body. Natural and easy movement around the sides.

Get back together into one group

Each lane chooses a column then an activity inside the column. Do that activity for the amount of points.

Team with the most points at the end wins.

Cannot do the same column two times in a row.

Can only do each activity 1 time. No repeating the same thing over and over.

Take turns who chooses what to do. Send one rep to the board to make a choice and then they go back and explain to the lane.

This is part of a larger system
