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?
I totally disagree swim fly when you are tired, the more your shoulder hurts the better - don't stop until the clicking sound is replaced with a much louder ripping/tearing sound. For good measure keep swimming fly until there is nothing left to rip or tear and/or your arm actually falls off of your body. Then you know you have gone through enough pain to swim a 200 fly. Let's be honest the 200 fly is a bit short ... sign up for that short little 500 free and do that fly, then the mile ...
It's all fun and games until someone tears a tendon ...
