Y = 50 FREE
N = 50 BK K
4 x 25 on 1:00 BK or FR
Split up into two groups:
Group 1:
3 x SL + “Flex”
Hold SL throughout, and push off with feet flexed, legs straight and held together, only feet are turning out.
This is to get in habit of flexing or flaring feet wide.
3 x SL + “Lift and Flex”
Streamline, then lift feet up, and flex them. Hold in that position.
Group 2:
Diving – Standing dive from the block
Stand with foot with toes curled over the edge. Rest weight on the forward leg.
