“YOUR ONE SWIM AWAY FROM A PERSONAL BEST”
Why do we do it at least once a year ? First off I really believe it’s a great way to start off a new year especially coming off of our holiday training.
Second of all is that swimming this event will give all of you a better perspective on all the shorter events especially as we head into our championship season.
Third these events will help you to gain a better insight into your pacing techniques and how to use that tool. It also is a great confidence builder that will help you when facing those 100’s, 200’s and that 500. Why do I mention the 500 free, simply it’s another freestyle event in High School that provides another opportunity during those meets.
My big take away from the meet that we addressed this past week were are turns, head position going into them and throwing our arm across our center line. This week we talked about how we are changing direction as we go into the wall. WE ARE NOT TURNING. Your head is looking at the bottom as you go into that turn. We need to buy into this simple concept when you turn and move the head to the side you are going off the center line and your body follows your head. (Circle swimming). START THINKING MY HEAD GO BACK IN THE SAME DIRECTION THAT IT CAME FROM.
SETS FROM THIS WEEK TO ADDRESS BOTH ISSUES.
