SHORT AXIS WORK ( breast fly)






 


 So today we split up into a long axis group in our meter pool (free/back) and a short axis group  in our yard pool. There choice which pool. I. The 13 and over group we had 25 with me in the short axis pool and  about 15 with Helen n the meter pool.

Yes it is nice to have the two pools and we use every yard and meter from 7:30-10-30 and on a few occasions you might catch Helen and I swimming before the kids get there.

Anyway this is what today looked like.  First off we all warmed up together in the meter pool to the sounds of country music.
