After a largely successful meet this weekend (PB in 200 back by 3 seconds) my coach admonished me for a largely ineffective SDK. Seems as though I don't engage my core enough, am kicking more from the knee than the torso. He has suggested strongly (shall we say expected?) that I do some shooters at most practices, e.g. 6X25.
Here's my questions: what ratio of SDK to rest are you using for shooters? How many do you do in a set? With or without fins?
I am doing them with Zoomers, doing each 25 in about :17 to :19, with an interval of :45. I pushed the hypoxic envelope pretty hard this week as I started doing a set of 6. My 12 year old thinks I'm a wimp, I'd like to think I can salvage my ego.

What's a shooter set? Based on the op's name, I originally thought some sort of drinking game.... :rofl:
Sorry for the confusion. Shooters as I know them are done completely underwater using kick only. I do these in either a 25 yard or 25 meter pool.
Despite my avatar, I'm not in to punishing myself with alcohol. If I could be called a wimp, its for the fact that after a few beers or glasses of wine I tend to fall asleep.
