SHOULDER STRETCHES!
WARMUP: 300
300 your choice, on your own
#1 Nekked
In shallow end, push off one by one in STREAMLINE, then do a breaststroke PULLDOWN (with dolphin kick if you want) and then hold with arms at your sides as you rise to the surface in balance. No swimming! When you pop up, come back to the wall. Do 4 of these.
#2 Fins
8 X 25 with 4 bobs as recovery between each 25.
Push off in streamline, do a breaststroke PULLDOWN ONLY, then continue to do head-lead dolphin to the end of the length. You can dolphin on or below the surface.
