Meet Warmup, then...

(Modified) RACE DAY!!


After the Meet Warmup, we talked about butterfly:

  • UDK's- small & fast, don't look up before breaking out;
  • Lift your chin at the front of the stroke to breathe (not when your hands are under your body);
  • Exhale when your face is in the water, so when you lift your chin you only have to breathe in;
  • Pull back in line with your shoulders, don't press out (like the start of breaststroke);
  • Keep hands firm all the way out the back of the stroke;
  • The back of your hands (thumbs down) lead the way around on the recovery, not thumbs forward.

With fins, we went 3 rounds of:

  5 x 25 @ :35- fly pull free kick drill
  1 x 75 @ 2:00- go swim/udk/swim faster by 25's
  No rest between rounds, check HR after each 75.
After 3rd round, fins off/50 easy.

3 x 150 @ :20 rest-
  50 choice fly drill/25 swim (FAD)
  Go the 1st 25 swim build, and the 2nd 25 swim max effort
Check HR, then...

Finish up with 1 x 75 fly swim from a dive, race somebody your speed (go 25 build/50 giddyup)


Warmdown a bit before you get out. Enjoy your time off today & remind your parents that workout tomorrow is here at GMU, 10:30-12:15p. Have a great day!
