08/10/04 CCB Masters Drill/Swim all Strokes

When you do drills, it's always a good idea to combine them with swimming, so that you can actually transfer the things you're working on in the drills...over to your swimming. This practice allows you to do that. As a coach, I like this practice because it allows me to give the swimmers regular feedback on their drilling.WARMUP: 400400 your choice on your own.MAIN SET: 1500Swim 6 rounds of the following:25 Drill50 Drill/Swim75 Drill/Swim/Swim100 Swim/Swim/Drill/SwimRound #1: Wear fins.
