10/12/05 CCB Masters IM Sets

We have a couple of swimmers doing Florida Ironman in 3 weeks, so I gave them the option of doing the IM sets as freestyle. The focus on the IM sets today was legal, fast turns. To get the fast part, the focus was on staying low after the touch and pointing the toes as you tuck.WARMUP: 400400 your choice, on your ownFOCUS SET #1: 2008 X 25 Breaststroke from a layout.
