E.g., on the first 200, the first and 5th 25 are dolphin kick and the rest of the lengths are breast kick. On the second 200, the second and 6th 25 are dolphin kick, etc. Focus on the dolphin kick was to keep the arms and head stable and steady right at the water line, and to really work the chest and hips.4 X 200 with pull buoy and strapless paddles -- no sendoff.These are whole-stroke breast, except that there are two 25s of sculling that float through the 200s in the same way that the dolphin kick floated on the first round of 200s. Choose a different scull position on each 200. Ouch. This was a slow set and a strength-builder for the forearms and wrists.FIN SET: 200With fins.4 X 50 on 1:05 sendoff#1: Pulse breaststroke, pull and breathe every 4 pulses#2: Pulse breast, pull and breathe every 3 pulses#3: Pulse breast pull and breathe every other pulse#4: Pulse breast, breathe every strokeFocus throughout was to keep the hands and arms and head stable and at the water line for the pulses, and to use fast hands on the pull.WARMDOWN: 100Total Yardage: 2600
