Incorporating some time to really think about how you interact with the wall is a good idea. Sometimes we take these frequent occurrences for granted and just think everyone is just doing it right. Not always the case.
Main Set (short course yards)
- 10 x 50 on :45
- 10 x 50 on 1:00 - First person pushes off in head lead position with palms down and immediately does a flip using the hands to push the legs over the top. They then continue forward and complete a 50. Each person leaves after the person in front of them has started swimming.
- 10 x 50 on :50 no breathing into the wall. Focus on using the palms during the flip.
