SMAC- Bronze I with Maureen & Michael

Review streamlined pushoffs & underwater dolphin kick before they get in!

Drills to review-
6 kicks 1 stroke backstroke- head flat, roll hips & get shoulder up by cheek
2 kicks 1 pull breaststroke drill- head flat looking at bottom of pool at the end of each stroke, squeeze feet together at the end of each stroke so their hips come up to the surface

With fins:
Butterfly drilling-
Lift & drop drill;
Lift & drop with a full arm stroke when breathing;
3 kicks 1 pull drill- same "lift & drop" breathing style
If possible, see how they do with some fly without fins.

Finish up with...
Breaststroke kicking races with boards


Everybody do an excellent job with your HW tonight & practice your breaststroke kick in front of the big mirror at home. Have a great day!
