Pull Drill - Focus will be on learning to 'catch' the water with your forearm and pull yourself through the water. If you feel your lats (the muscles under your arm pits that go down the side of your back) engage, then you are starting to get it. If your shoulders are tired, then you are still using too much shoulder and not enough lats. Kick (Regular) - regular kickboard kick or kick on back with hands over head, fingers locked.

Isolated Leg Training (ILT)
WU: 10'
MS: After WU, alternate 20-60" with 1 leg off the pedals, and up on a chair. Get a total of 7-10' of ILT on each leg in workout. Alternate legs as you feel like it. Work this up to 95-100 rpms, and focus on eliminating dead spot at top of stroke by pushing toes forward in shoes at top. You may start out being able to only hold 75-80 RPMS but over time your cadence will increase. Hang in there!
