GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - April 27, 2012
1 commentOur set of the week is short, intense, and a chance to work on many things.
Turns - How Many Dolphins?
Even though the majority of time at swim practice is spent going back and forth, it's the switching from one direction to the other that is more important than ever.

Some great slow motion clips of Olympian Margaret Hoelzer performing the underwater dolphin kick, as well as breatkout into her first stroke.
All Strokes - Get-Out Swim
Ever since there's been competitive swimming, there have been get-out swims. A great way to encourage swimmers to go faster than they thought they could, with the cherry of getting out of practice 10 minutes early.

Backstroke - Nose Plugs
Having a successful pushoff in backstroke means being able to stay under water long enough to take advantage of your underwater dolphin.
Swimming Pics of the Week - August 4, 2011
With the talk of tech suits coming back up, I thought I'd post a pic and short video of what people still use their tech suits for.
Turns - Dolphin / Group
Coaching in a group setting sometimes requires that you give technique work that everyone is able to do.
Swimming Pic of the Week - July 7, 2011
Some various shots from morning practice. There's something a bit interesting, or strange about each one of these.
Turns - Dolphin Kick on Your Back
Developing a great underwater dolphin is something swimmers can work on every day.
Butterfly - Underwater Weapon
Ultimately, the sport of competitive swimming is about racing. Finding what skills, or weapons, work best for you in those races is key to winning.
Breaststroke - Timing Underwater Dolphin
Ever since the initiation of the dolphin kick in the underwater pull, there have been discussions about when the dolphin kick should come in. Here's a quick variation of what we're seeing more and more of.
New Toy - Finis Foil Monofin
Look what we got to play with this morning. It's the new Finis Foil Monofin.
Main Set Tuesday - February 8, 2011
A longer set this morning which required some thinking, and pinpointing exactly what the coach wanted done. Just like yesterday, without attacking the focus points, it's just going back and forth.
Butterfly - Dolphin Initiation
We all know a good underwater dolphin kick is incredibly important in your butterfly. The question is... when do you start your kick?
