I am really sorry this is late,I just moved,and we have no high speed internet,I tried to get on,but to get the main page to load it took forever! I will post when I can(1-2 times weekly)

Lets warm up,today we will focus on flip turns,I cant get any pictures today,so I will just try to explain how to do them.


First everyone get into a lane.

now go to the flags that are closest to the wall.

1.Swim 4 or 5 strokes(until you get to the cross at the bottom of the pool) then keep the arm down and pull the other arm down(the arm that was up from the stroke).

When you take that pull down,that is what keeps you gliding.now cover your face with your arms(ill get a pic next week)

,and flip,your feet should be close to the wall,when they hit the wall,do a turn underwater,and keep on swimming(for freestyle,we will learn a backstroke flipturn next practice)

Now we can go on and warm up,everyone must use flip turns though,so we wont do that many laps of freestyle.

5 laps free
10 back
10 breast
10 butterfly


now lets work on our breast stroke kicks.

Everyone grab a kick board and take off your fins.

Remember:
bring legs to a tuck position,turn them out,and push,

lets practice that ,
8 laps

Now lets do 10 laps with arms.

My coach always told ups to pretend we were scooping chocolate batter out of a bowl,you scoop it out,then put it in your mouth,then scoop it out ,and put it in your mouth.

Next Week we will work on Butterfly,

Remember!Practice those flipturn!
