SMAC- Bronze I with Maureen & Michael

Talk about the importance of streamlined pushoffs & small, FAST underwater dolphin kicks every time they push off the wall (except on breaststroke)!

Drills to review:

Catch-up freestyle drill (really get the kick going to drive them forward)

"2 kicks & breathe" breaststroke drill w/boards

With fins- "lift & drop" fly breathing drill

KICKING:

See if you can go three rounds of the following set (or some version of it):

4 x 25 kick FAST @ 1:00

1 x 50 kick FAST racing against the other lanes

Mix up the kick from one round to another.

If there is time...

"Scooter 25's"- breaststroke pull while sitting on their kickboards

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