I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn.
Also any good workouts for this?
I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout.
I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient.
Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly.
Any thoughts or articles?
12x75 continuous IM (#1 is fl-bk-br, #2 is fr-fl-bk, #3 is br-fr-fl, #4 is bk-br-fr and then you're back to #1)
This is one of my favorite sets too. You can also go fly-fly-fly, fly-fly-back, fly-back-back, back-back-back, etc.
I do sets of 8-12 x 100 IMs too, alternating drill-swim or kick-drill-swim.
You can also do 8 x 50, two of each stroke. Or 8 x 50 alternating kick-stroke or drill-stroke.
You can also try 8 x 150. Odds reverse IM, 50 choice kick or easy. Evens regular 100 IM, 50 choice kick or easy. Don't forget reverse IMs.
Doing lots of 25s as Poolraat suggested is also good. Mix it up; lot of serial swimming.
Work on the turns and streamlines.
