GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - June 10, 2011
4 commentsWhat do you do when you have long-course meets coming up, but practice in a short-course pool? Here's a practice that will help get you ready.
Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord One Spot
Continuing with fun games to play with stretch cords in swimming, it's time to introduce a bit more learning and pain. Sorry, no matter what you hear to the contrary, it's part of the sport.
Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord 50s
True or false: Swim practices can be physically challenging, mentally challenging, and fun...all at the same time?
Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord Release
Here's a REALLY fun way to add some productive fun to your practices. Stretch-Cord Release takes the lessons learned from resisted swimming and converts them directly into actual swimming.
Swimming Set of the Week - July 31, 2009
This week's set is actually several short sets that we combined into a stations workout for Masters practice this morning. The hula-hoop station was hilarious. If you don't have this exact list of equipment, just improvise with whatever cool equipment or challenges you can think of.
Classic - Freestyle - Stretch-Cord Speed
Ever wonder how it would feel to be an Olympic swimmer? Not the pride and glory part, but the in-the-water part - how it would feel to have the water moving past you THAT FAST.
Morning Torture with Cords
Here is part of our practice from this morning. A little trick we saw last week from the big guy, J.L.
Breaststroke - Wall Pull
Knowing how to move your hands side to side in breaststroke, rather than pulling back is a skill all swimmers need to learn. This "fun" drill is a great way to see if you're able to do it effectively.
