SMAC- Bronze II with Christie & Michael

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

Review the following drills (4 x 25's of each?):
Catchup freestyle drill- big kick, hands touch each other out front, roll head to the side to breathe
Double arm backstroke drill- thumbs out/pinky's in, keep arms straight as the move through the air
2 kicks 1 pull breaststroke drill- squeeze feet together at the end of each kick, body flat at the end of each stroke with head looking down at the bottom of the pool- not looking forward!

Get fins for fly drilling-
Review the "lift & drop" drill, "lift & drop" with a full stroke when they go to take a breath, and 3 kicks 1 pull fly drill. Concentrate on the "lift & drop" breathing throughout all the drills.
Try to go some straight 25's swim fly after going through those drills.

Finish up with-
Break into two groups, one working on flip turns, the other working on breaststroke kicking with boards.

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