Dryland Activities:

Dryland – Streamline Roll

Find a partner. Lay on your backs foot to foot. Heads away from each other.

Get in Streamline position.

Roll together in the same direction for 1 full roll, or 2.

Feet must remain connected, and bodies should roll together to earn a “success.”

Fail when feet fall apart, streamlines fall out, or when one body turns but the other doesn’t.

Question of the Day: What are the three things to make a streamline better?
Answer: lock your thumb, squeeze your ears, look down
Y = Do 3 of any, sit-up, push-up, or sit-up.
N = do 10 sit-ups.

Warmup in water:

100 IM Kick
2 x 25 position 11.

Review 3 things for Streamline before first 25.
1) Lock your thumb.
2) Squeeze your ears (back of head).
3) Look down (with your whole face).
Review 3 things for Position 11 before second 25:
1) Keep your arms straight.
2) Stay at the surface (even when you breathe).
3) Look down (with your whole face).

Split Up into 2 Groups

Group 1

3 x SL + Flip

Streamline beginning underwater on belly.

At the surface do a front flip with knees pulled in to chest.

Group 2

on the back, backstroke streamlines.

3 streamlines. 1 at surface, 1 at bottom, 1 in middle (depth)

Focus on getting the swimmers to fall underwater first, plant their feet on the wall, and grow in a straight line off the wall into streamline. Goal is to travel in a straight line.

Get back together in one group

4 x 25 backstroke kick with fins

2 x 50 Free with fins. Focus no. Streamline and turning the head to the side to breathe.

1 x 100 backstroke swim without fins.
