Dryland Activities:
Dryland – Streamline Roll
Find a partner. Lay on your backs foot to foot. Heads away from each other.
Get in Streamline position.
Roll together in the same direction for 1 full roll, or 2.
Feet must remain connected, and bodies should roll together to earn a “success.”
Fail when feet fall apart, streamlines fall out, or when one body turns but the other doesn’t.
Question of the Day: What are the three things to make a streamline better?
Answer: lock your thumb, squeeze your ears, look down
Y = Do 3 of any, sit-up, push-up, or sit-up.
N = do 10 sit-ups.

Split Up into 2 Groups
Group 1
3 x SL + Flip
Streamline beginning underwater on belly.
At the surface do a front flip with knees pulled in to chest.
Group 2
on the back, backstroke streamlines.
3 streamlines. 1 at surface, 1 at bottom, 1 in middle (depth)
Focus on getting the swimmers to fall underwater first, plant their feet on the wall, and grow in a straight line off the wall into streamline. Goal is to travel in a straight line.
Get back together in one group
4 x 25 backstroke kick with fins
2 x 50 Free with fins. Focus no. Streamline and turning the head to the side to breathe.
