Swim Drills Day. Like last week this workout is going to be about counting your strokes. Have you improved since last week?
Today's focus will be on learning to 'catch' 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.
Keep moving and complete 400 yards or 1/4 of a mile all freestyle! When you are done swimming, work on stretching your back, your arms, shoulders and neck muscles.

Ride on a flat course or spin bike. Focus on keeping your pedal stroke smooth and learning to be 'light' on the pedals. Put as much pressure pushing down on the pedal as you do on pulling up the opposite pedal. RPE should be light - 5/6 out of 10.

Kick/Balance Drills Day. Same workout as last week except after 400 yards of warm up and kick/swim drills you will take a 2 minute rest and then see how many lengths in a row you can do, using any stroke you want for the last 100.
Refresher from last week: Kick with your hands by your side, and your head down for as far as you can. When you need a breath of air, turn your head to the side, but try NOT to pick up your head. Try to kick one length and then swim the next length.
Focus on pressing your chest into the water on the kick phases and carry this feeling over to the swim portion of the workout. Stretch when you are done.

Swim Drills Day. Today we will work on something called the Fist Drill. Swim at least 4 lengths to warm up - you can alternate free style and sidestroke or breast stroke.
After you have finished your warm up, you will start your next length with your hands closed in a fist. Swim like this for 4 strokes, and then open your hands for 4 strokes, alternating until you get to the other end. Alternate 25 yds of 'Fist Drill' and freestyle swimming. This should get you to have a better 'feel' for the water.
Keep moving and complete 400 yards or 1/4 of a mile! When you are done swimming, work on stretching your back, your arms, shoulders and neck muscles.
