Test Set Tuesdays!


Two weeks ago we started Test Set Tuesdays. The basic premise is that we have four different test sets. We will do one per week every Tuesday. After the fourth Tuesday, we will start the cycle over. Test set #1 is a kick set, #2 is a sprint freestyle set, #3 is a distance freestyle set, and #4 is an IM set. We will see our progression through the season illustrated with these test sets! Here are the results from the first two Test Set Tuesdays:

Test Set #1 - Kick


For our kick test set we do 100m flutter kick, and 100m breaststroke kick for time.

Flipturn Policy

Upon reflection of the Poppy Meet, I have decided to institute a new flipturn policy for all Fitness Development practices. Flipturns are now MANDATORY during practice for freestyle and backstroke! I know water gets in the nose. We’ll fix that.
