SMAC- Bronze with Maureen & Hannah

Review streamlined pushoffs & five FAST underwater dolphin kicks off each wall before they get in!


Warmup- 6 x 50 drill down/kick back, odds free/evens backstroke


Review:
- ra2 la2 free drill (head down, strong kick, breathe on 1st stroke to each side)
- double arm backstroke drill (head flat, strong kick, thumbs out pinkies in)
- breaststroke kick ("up, out, around- GLIDE")

• work on the breaststroke kick on deck if necessary; then try it on their backs in the water, concentrating on dropping their feet down & keeping their knees just under the surface of the water

New skills:
- work on freestyle flip turns (maybe even backstroke flip turns)

Try to finish with some sort of racing, either kicking or breaststroke skulling on boards, whatever works.


Remind everybody to bring in their progress reports so we can see how they're doing in school, and to practice their breaststroke kick in front of the big mirror at home. Thanks for all your help, have a great day!
