GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - April 27, 2012
1 commentOur set of the week is short, intense, and a chance to work on many things.
Main Set Wednesday - Little Bit of Everything
There was a little bit of everything in today's Masters practice: pull, kick, swim, all four strokes without doing an IM, underwater work, sprinting, and technique. It went by really quickly!
Roque Santos - Breaststroke Underwater Pulls
Olympian Roque Santos answers a question from one of our members. How do you keep moving forward on underwater pulls?
Breaststroke - Timing Underwater Dolphin
Ever since the initiation of the dolphin kick in the underwater pull, there have been discussions about when the dolphin kick should come in. Here's a quick variation of what we're seeing more and more of.
Breaststroke - Underwaters
Such a simple drill, but carrying a good amount of teaching. Underwaters isn't just about finding out how long you can hold your breath; in fact, these can be quite dangerous if done alone, or to a point beyond discomfort. So, BE CAREFUL.
Training - Lezak Pullouts
Whenever we have a chance to work with a great athlete, we always learn little tidbits that keep the sport fun. Jason Lezak shared with us a story of his training at Rose Bowl Aquatics in which they did 8 x 200 meters, with 8 "pullouts" at the end of each length.
Swimming Set of the Week - May 15, 2009
This week's set of the week helps you work on many elements of breaststroke: breath control, narrow kick, body undulation, and high elbows during the pull.
Breaststroke - Double Underwater Pull
Learning to get the most out of every underwater pull can make the difference between winning and losing any race that has breaststroke in it. One of the oldest stand by drills to help with this, is the Double Underwater Pull.
Swimming Set of the Week - February 17, 2009
This week's swim set works your dolphin kick off the wall.
Swimming Pic of the Week - January 27, 2009
This week's pic is dealing with the recovery of the breaststroke underwater pull.
Breaststroke - Underwater Pull, Power Phase
Until FINA decides on the rules for the underwater pull, we'll give a quick illustration of what's "legal" in the U.S., as well as a few fine points that need to be considered no matter what the rules end up being.
