Main Set Monday - Dolphins

Working on better dolphin kicks is always a good idea.  Incorporating them purposely into a set, demands the athletes focus on just that.

Main Set (short course yards)
 - 16 x 25 - 4 sets of 4 25s

   - 1 = 1 dolphin kick off the wall
  -  2 = 2 dolphin kicks off the wall
  -  3 = 3 dolphin kicks off the wall
  -  4 = 4 dolphin kicks off the wall

 - 12 x 50 - 3 sets of 4 50s
   - 1 = 1 dolphin kick off the wall
  -  2 = 2 dolphin kicks off the wall
  -  3 = 3 dolphin kicks off the wall
  -  4 = 4 dolphin kicks off the wall

 - 8 x 100
   -  within EACH 100, start with 4 dolphins from the 1st pushoff, then 3 dolpins off the 1st turn, then 2 dolphins at the 50 turn, then 1 dolphin at the 75.  The goal here is to end up simulating what a typical turn would be (on the last one, with a single dolphin), but by overloading the first 3 turns, hopefully it will be better than typical.
