Sharks 2Practices

100 IM Kick

100 FLY K

2 x 25 Position 11

Question of the Day: How many flip turns are in a 200 FR (assuming you do them all)?Y = 50 FRN = 50 BK w/ flip 1st then SL on back.

4 x 25 on 1:00 flip 1st then SL on back, then FREE

3 x SL + 3 FR + lay on side one arm in 11, face down and float with 10 kicks.

Goal is laying on the side. Avoid belly laying. Most swimmers will get confused with the arm raised forward and will put it in the air and look up. Goal is looking down, nose in armpit. “Smell your sticky armpits.”

3x SL + 2 x (Position 11 for 5 kicks + 1 FR)

Streamline with freestyle kick. At the surface transition from streamline to position 11. Continue kicking for 5 kicks in position 11.

Continue kicking and do one arm stroke of freestyle. Leave other arm in position 11 place.
