Main Set Monday - Pull Buoy Kicking

Incorporating drills in to practice sometimes involves more than just doing the drill.

While it seems pretty easy initially, the extra thought required to kick with a pull-buoy, as well as the extra effort (which you'll discover), can prove as a great way to work a bit more, and think about a specific aspect of your stroke.

The drill we focused on was Backstroke - Pull-Buoy Flutter Kick

Main Set (short course yards):
 - 6 x 100 on 1:30 freestyle - using a pull-buoy.
 - 6 x 100 on 1:35 freestyle - keep the pull-buoy in, but use a continuous flutter kick.
 - 6 x 50 on :45 freestyle - no pull-buoy but continue using a continuous flutter kick.

 - 6 x 100 on 1:40 50 freestyle 50 backstroke - using a pull-buoy.
 - 6 x 100 on 1:45 50 freestyle 50 backstroke - keep the pull-buoy in, but use a continuous flutter kick.
 - 6 x 50 on :50 backstroke - no pull-buoy but continue using a continuous flutter kick.

Try the set, and tell us what hurts the most.
