Saturday WLU pool session.

Today we were back to WLU pool for our Saturday swim session which yours truly coached! Good turnout for my small but constantly growing club! The workout was 4x50m warm up, 4x25m catch up with kick board - one arm, 4x25m catch up with kick board - both arms, 4x25m swim, 4x25m board between legs, 4x25m as 25m breathe every 3 strokes, 25m 5 strokes, 25m 7 strokes, 25m 9 strokes, 100 pull, 25m/50m/75m/100m/75m/50m/25m, 8x25m 1/2 length fast 1/2 easy, 200 easy cool down. Good workout for the swimmers and for me to watch them and do some corrections and make suggestions for them. One thing I keep talking to them about is being efficient whether in the water, on the bike or running. When we get tired a lot of time our form is the first thing to suffer and we work that much harder. I said to one swimmer today that I could tell her arms were getting tired and she agreed. I then suggested she keep her elbows high and not let them drop and keep her form because no matter what, we are going to get tired! No sense making it worse having to fight bad form which could lead to an injury.
I had one new person come out that was interested in joining the club and after the swim we sat down to talk and go over everything and he is signing up! The KW Fighting Koalas has grown again!!
