At the end of the session we will put everything together and work on timing from the backstroke flags into the wall. ●Session 2 (4/8): Freestyle- This freestyle session will focus on the flutter kick to start with using a kickboard. We then move back to the rotation that is used in freestyle and then adding everything together to complete the stroke. ●Session 3 (4/13): Breaststroke- In this breaststroke session, we will start by focusing on the whip kick on land, on our backs and with a board. After the kick we will focus on the arm movement in the water and to finish the session we will work on the timing of the breaststroke. ●Session 4 (4/15): Butterfly- The final session of strokes will work on butterfly. We will start by working on the dolphin kick in the water on our back, side and stomach. We will then transition to the arm movement and pull of the butterfly stroke and then finish with the timing. ●Session 5 (4/20): Turns- In this session we will focus on the competitive turns that swimmers use on the walls. We will start with working on the streamline that is used to push off the wall.

We will finish this session on the open turn which is used for breaststroke and butterfly turns. ●Session 6 (4/22): Starts & Finishes- Our final session of this program will focus on the speed. We will be going off of the blocks working on using the wedge that our varsity athletes use and how to dive into the water from the block.
