21-Cycle Swims for Developing Stroke Efficiency

Dani Caldwell
SUSA Stingrays, St. George, Utah



21-Cycle Swims
SCY

Short set we do with HS kids...

8 x 21 stroke cycles -- stop when you reach 21 cycles, begin from that point on the next one

Rules: you must continue stroking or streamlining off the wall -- no side-glide or other forms of "cheating"

Some
of our older boys were getting to 125 yards the other morning! It was
interesting

Breaststroke Magic for Age Groupers Using @FinisSwim Tempo Trainers

Ryan Woodruff

We did this set the other day with our age-groupers and it worked like magic.

One of the most common stroke flaws for younger kids is that they pause with their hands under their chest and don't glide long enough in a near-streamlined position. Try this using the Finis Tempo Trainer Pro.
