Main Set Wednesday - When the Ball's in Your Court...

Barbara's masters group used their kick day to accept Glenn's challenge to do just a little bit more with the Head-Up Dolphin drill.  

We didn't step it up TOO much, because this is somewhat of a chess game, and I'm in favor of stretching this contest out for a few more weeks.  This made a heckuva kick set...much harder than it looks on paper.   Glenn, over to you and the AGUAnooners.

MAIN SET (SCY):  1600
12 X 25 on :30 with fins (3 rounds of the following):
#1:  Head-up dolphin
#2:  Easy free, starting with at least 2 underwater (UW) dolphins

200 smooth freestyle with at least 2 UW dolphins off each wall

If you don't have physio balls, you can use water-aerobic "dumbbells."
