I talk about body position a lot, but today's workout is definitely focused on the neutral position. Earlier in the week we have done streamlines out of the water where they concentrate on tight streamlines, pressing the chest forward and keeping the head and shoulders back. (I feel like I have a lot on hunchback swimmers in the water, so I have actually included a little bit of this in every workout this week so far).
Today, doing kick sets in streamline or superman (depending on the kick they are doing) and making the focus being the arm position, head position, and chest position. Backstroke kick with Chest level with the face (I say higher to get it across). Keeping the chin off the chest to allow for the chest to be pressed upward. Fly kick on back starting the kick from the chest press and flowing the wave through the body. Freestyle Kick with the chest pressed, but also keeping the back of the head above the surface to make sure that they aren't digging their head when they push their chest.
Doing some longer, less intense swims. Aerobic swims with a focus in the body positions. Morning group did good, and made some good adjustments. Can't wait to see how the afternoon group does with this workout and focus.
