Warmup:

1 x 100 IM Kick
1 x 100 CH

Review Streamline and Position 11 together because…. people STILL STILL! don’t do it every time correctly.

A correct Streamline requires all three components: 1) Locked thumb. 2) Squeezed elbows behind the head, or over the ears. 3) Face aiming down.
1 x 50 Position 11.

Question of the Day:
#1: What word is this description for:
design or provide with a form that presents very little resistance to a flow of air or water, increasing speed and ease of movement.

#2: Should the forearm be perpendicular, “L” shape to the bottom of the pool when doing the FREE style arm pull?

Correct: Do any challenge we’ve recently done.
Wrong: Swim to 1/2 way FREE two times with flips at every end and wall.

Justin Challenge: Handstand rewind
Push off the wall towards the T mark like you’re going to do a handstand, but don’t; instead push on the ground so you launch back at the wall and hit it with your feet.

Make it harder! Do a flip before you push backwards, then push backwards with your hands to rewind.

Make it super harder. Hands on T mark, 1/2 a flip, then rewind with your hands on your back to the wall.
