Main Set Wednesday - Flutter Kick No Fins

Lots of groans when the masters saw this before practice…lots of thumbs up after practice.   The rule today was NO FINS.  Tough it out no matter how slow you are at flutter kick.   You can kick with or without a board.  You can kick on your back, stomach, side…whatever you choose…but no fins.

Modifications:  If your intial sendoff/turnaround is 1:40-2:00, skip the first 6 X 60 and start with 5 X 50.  If your initial sendoff/turnaround is 2:00 or higher, start with 4 X 50.
