25 FR Swim
25 Sculling* kicking
* While sculling, don’t just move your forearms and hands. Intentionally focus on the feeling of holding water. When you start holding water while sculling, somehow the drill becomes challenging for your upper body muscles.
5 x 100 FR DPS - Rest 30sec. between 100s
Let’s bring back a DPS set. Can you remember how many strokes you did the last time we did this set? Hopefully, yes!!! If you don’t, write your avg stroke number on a notebook or your phone for the next time.
* DPS: distance per stroke. Count the strokes it takes to swim a lap, and try to keep the same and over time reduce the number of strokes. When you drop strokes, it means you are becoming a more efficient swimmer.
