I am looking at putting together a sheet for my new masters swimmers about all the different swimming terminology and acronyms coaches use on deck.
I will start with a few.... Please add as many as you can and I will re-post what I put together.
DPS - Distance per stroke
Rev IMO - Reverse Individual Medley Order
R Arm - Right Arm only
L Arm - Left Arm only
Inv K - Inverted Kick
Alternate Breathe - breathing pattern that consist's of equal number of breath's on the left side as the right, typically done in threes, breathe left, stroke three times, breathe right, stroke three times, repeat.
Typically for my practices, "swim" means freestyle swim and choice is your choice of stroke other than freestyle.
You always need to get clarification on "choice": I've had it mean anything but free or anything, including free, with "stroke" meaning free-free. In warmup, I would assume it included drill and pull unless told otherwise.
