WHISTLE KICK: ?????
Grab fins & a kickboard. Everyone starts kicking flutter kick on a board. Coach will whistle and point to a swimmer who has just turned at the wall. The entire team must kick FAST until the named swimmer has completed a length of kick. When the designated swimmer completes the length, Coach whistles and everyone keeps kicking but at a slower rate. Then coach whistles again when another swimmer turns and everyone kicks fast until that swimmer completes a length. This continues until every swimmer has been a “designate” swimmer. This could add up to 400 yards or more, depending on how many swimmers are in the pool and how tough the coach wants to be:)
