Sunday Swim Class #2 (10 Jan 2016)

Class size: 5

Completed 180m Time Trial

Observed common issues:

• lack of understanding on how to complete a TT:
• taking too long to turn at the walls
• inconsistent focus
• Crossover during breathing
• Head tilting up during breathing
• Over rotation

Key focus: Lateral balance
Worked on:

• Ideal head position in water during breathing - pressing top of head down
• Deliberate pushing of leading hand outwards during breathing to reduce crossover
• Correction of leading hand position with aid of visual feedback during skating
• Over rotation - belly button pointing just outside of lane marking
