Oct 10, 2016 – IUP Crimson Hawks

During our Monday morning practice we like to emphasize kicking. This practice incorporates kicking on the wall, transitioning into an open turn working on good underwater dolphin kicks.

We also do vertical dolphin kick to work on proper dolphin kick technique. We track their kick improvement throughout the year by writing down times for specific distances. During this practice each round (4) ends with a kick for time; 200, 150, 100, 50.
