Friday – Freestyle Fix
Now our school has appointed a full time Aquatics Director, this has enabled me to begin to spend time with some of our younger swimmers in the development lanes of the squad. Today we worked on some freestyle endurance and it was stressed the importance of performing tumble turns regularly, even when tired, to help with getting fitter and stronger in longer swims.
