Sep 23, 2023 – Swim Team Biel-Bienne (Beluga)

Saturday morning “racing” practice for the Beluga kids in Biel. They will soon have their first competition of the season and today we really wanted to hone in on starts and underwaters with a couple high quality sprints. We rehearsed the whole starting procedure (different whistles and stepping on and off the blocks) and provided them with lots of rest between their efforts to work on switching their mental focus “on & off”. To balance all of this, the recovery was done as kicking with fins where they were allowed to have social time and we also aimed to “tone down” things at the end with the float drills.
