On Wednesdays, our water time is shortened due to water polo games for the high school. This week, I wanted to begin to throw a little more speed work their way. Since we are still early-season and building up endurance and stamina, I am constantly looking to change up variables.
Continuing our work on butterfly. Focusing on the synchronization of the rhythm with the arm stroke movements and body position. Again, building up the amount of fly actually being swum.
This workout starts with a kick set for warm up, then moves on to a drill progression for butterfly that is body dolphin-focused. After the drill progression, the main set has some aerobic free for early- season development and fitness, and then just some very small amounts of fly.
I try to dedicate one day a week to a bit more kick focus. I try to mix this up with our stroke work from time to time and keep it fresh for the athletes especially since yesterday was an aerobic freestyle day.
