Swimming Set of the Week - June 5, 2009
In honor of D-Day this week (June 6th), we're honoring the greatest of all Double Ds... Dave Denniston, AKA Davo, who posted this Test Set several years ago. It's become a favorite test set for us, especially around taper time when we're trying to get a feel for what race pace feels like.
Breaststroke 101
Breaststroke has a reputation for being one of the most difficult strokes to learn... and to teach. Here's a teaching sequence for the breaststroke kick.
Role Models
A firestorm was started the other day on the GoSwim site when a post was made regarding Michael Phelps and Amanda Beard, two Olympic Champions from the US, and two swimmers who have done what some people consider questionable things.
Congrats to Dave and SWIMMER Magazine!
What a great surprise to pull this magazine out of the mailbox with DAVO gracing the cover. Great story, great pictures, and a very inspiring way to end, and begin the year.
Breaststroke - Point Your Toes
Swimmers are so focused on producing power with the hands, arms, and upper body that they sometimes forget to finish the job, which means taking it all the way to the TOES.

Dave Denniston on Morning Swim Show
Listen to Dave Denniston's interview on the Morning Swim Show. Very cool Davo! Can't wait to hear how it goes in China. :)
Breaststroke - Early Catch Hands
If you're an older (Masters) breaststroker, you may or may not know how to REALLY sprint in breaststroke. Catching the water immediately at the beginning of the pull becomes essential to really swimming fast. To illustrate this very small fine point, we've recruited one of the fastest breaststrokers in history.
