After a few 100 m of drill as usual, coach did something different. He made us sprint for 10 x 50m which was a reverse of what we normally did; we would do 2x 50m or 4 x50m sprint at the end of the session. After the sprint then we did 3x400m slow swim focusing on stroke technique and hip row.
I took this opportunity to practice 1 stroke 1 kick; picked up this technique last Thursday session which was very useful for long long swim. After my 1st set coach commented that I was jerking when taking my breath and I noticed the execution of 1 stroke 1 kick was incorrect. My left leg kick should be done before right hand entering the water. I did it when my right arm was pulling. When did incorrectly the stroke was not smooth, resulting jerking... The last 2 sets was quite OK. Will practice more as this technique made long swim less tiring and made better hip row.
Tonight drills were tough, long fist swim, one arm swim, fast flutter kick etc.
10x50m (managed 58 to 65 sec per lap)
3x 400m ( 10min, 9.49m, 9.42m)
end the swim with moderate Breath stroke, Butterfly, Back stroke and then coach changed plan to get us to do 1 x50 m FC sprint to end the session.
I loved tonight training but last Thursday swim was a lot more tougher than this.
