#6-10 focus on your PULL.
#11-15 focus on your FINISH.
Now swim another 6x50 swim golf and see if there is a difference in strokes or time.
Last set is 4 x 50 kick (20" rest between) moderate.

AND Core #1, 2, and 3

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. Catch Up Drill - Push off the wall with both arms extended in front of you touching each other. Start with the right arm and take a full stroke, coming to rest in the forward position, before the left arm starts its pull. Repeat this all the way to the other side of the pool. Keep a strong kick going and focus on the pull portion of the stroke. Kick (Regular) - regular kickboard kick or kick on back with hands over head, fingers locked.
