SENIOR PREP

The best example of doing the crossover turn I have seen out there.  Watch this short example of the steps in doing the turn as we will dive into it on Thursday. 

As a coach working with 14 under’s sometimes I believe that swimmers look at this turn as the “new hot fashionable “ thing on the market and that is the wrong way to approach it.  You should ask yourselves this one question, Do I get an advantage from using the turn?  Once you can master the turn I believe there is an advantage in the 100 and 200 IM not so much in the 400 IM at this stage of your swimming.  

Take a look at it and we will start setting aside some time to practice the steps.

HAPPY TURNS
