On the following set, focus on traveling FORWARD as you take the last stroke before each sommersalt. Also focus on getting into as tight a ball as possible as you sommersault STRAIGHT over.6 X 50 freestyle with about :20 rest between 50s. On the first 25, take 3 or 4 strokes then do a tight sommersault and start swimming immediately. Take 3 or 4 more strokes and do another sommersault. Then do a flip turn at the wall. The second 25 is freestyle (no sommersaults).MAIN SET: 1800Swim three times through the following set. First round is with fistgloves. Second round is with nekked hands. Third round is with paddles.
