Dec 27, 2011 – Vevey Natation (Camp Luxembourg)

Additional Comments:
Scull rotation means that you rotate the 25 sculls through the alternating 100’s during the 400 pull (1st 100 = 1st 25, 2nd 100 = 2nd 25, etc). Every session during this trip started with a 15 minutes team warm-up working on abs and lower back muscles.
