Only 3 of us today for swim class, and coach decided that she was going to work only on flip turns. We had discussed it some last week. There are several people who don't do them at all, and those that do, can use some serious work on it.
So after warmups we just did flip turn drills. Coach even put her suit on and demonstrated the drills, watched us underwater etc. It was really nice.
I joked with her that she is taking away the only advantage I have over others in the class by teaching them flip turns. It is often that the other swimmers catch me during the swim and then I pull ahead after the turn.
But I have a lot I can work on too. I tend to turn too close to the wall, I flip and rotate at the same time, etc. So it was good to reinforce the good habits.
But I didn't get many yards in today, so I may need to go to the pool tonight and get some more in.
I can't say it was an easy day, not a lot of yards, but a different workout thats for sure.
