Breakout

It’s almost been 2 YEARS since we last posted!  Work, kids, and life just kind of got in the way and this website took a backseat.  We’ll try to do better this year (or what’s left of 2018).

 

Breakout = the breakout is when you surface from being underwater after doing your start or turn.  If you’re doing freestyle, the bottom arm of your streamline should be the arm that begins your stroke.

BEGINNER WORKOUT:

8×25 free kick fast on the :50

8×75 (25 free kick, 25 free fingertip drag drill, 25 free) on the 1:40

10×25 free sprint, RI :10

10×50 free sprint, RI :20

12×12.5 free sprints working on breakout, RI :20 – start each one the wall (you can walk or swim in)

1738

We’re from Kansas City and we are so, so, so proud of our Royals. They are just a lot of fun to watch, partially because you can tell that they like each other and they are genuinely having fun.

One of the things the players did this year was to use “1738” in their interviews.  If they didn’t, they fined each other.  You can read why in these two articles:

1. http://www.foxsports.com/kansas-city/story/royals-fetty-wap-and-how-1738-is-taking-over-the-kc-clubhouse-072915

2. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/the-royals-are-saying–1738–in-interviews-because-they-love-fetty-wap-211924083.html

We have a new member in our family, Cain (named after Lorenzo Cain), aka 1738.

Here’s our 1738 workout (the cool down would be a 125 plus 1/2 a pool length):

Descending in time = swim progressively faster for each set.  In this workout, the first 100 would be your slowest, the second, third and forth would get progressively faster and the fifth 100 would be your fastest.

BEGINNER WORKOUT:

200 easy free (warm-up)

16×25 fly kick (use fins if you have them) on the :50

10×50 free on the 1:30 (2 fast 50s and then 1 slow 50, repeat until you’ve done 10 50s)

5×100 free descending in time on the 2:00

138 easy (cool down)

= 1738

INTERMEDIATE WORKOUT:

200 easy free (warm-up)

16×25 fly kick (use fins if you have them) on the :40

10×50 free on the 1:15 (2 fast 50s and then 1 slow 50, repeat until you’ve done 10 50s)

5×100 free descending in time on the 1:45

138 easy (cool down)
