Kicking Focus

Objectives: Kicking strength, navigating crowds and conditioning.

Set 1 - Warm-up; Dist = 400
400 Freestyle - build to EN2 pace

Set 2 - Kicking & Passing; Dist = 400
16 x 25 Alternate Kick with Kickboard and FS sprint
This is a "drillers and passers" set. Half of the group in each lane are drillers, and half are passers. The drillers begin first - all at once across the lane - and kick 25 with a kickboard. When the drillers have cleared the near flags, the passers begin swimming and must pass the kickers. At each wall, the roles are reversed.
