SMAC- Bronze I with Maureen & Michael

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

Drills to review:
Ra2 la2 freestyle drill- watch head position (while breathing, too!)
Fist free drill br 3- fingers over thumbs & pull in line with shoulders
Dolphin kick with boards- hold board at bottom, think about pressing shoulders & chest "forward & down" to create the kick, let it roll all the way through your body & out your toes!

After the dolphin kick, try the following drill:
2 dolphin kicks & 1 breaststroke pull- talk about it on deck (demonstrate, too?)

Finish up with 2 groups:
1- work on breaststroke kick
2- work on flip turns (start with free to back, then progress to free to free)

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!
