Swim Workout #75 – Choice – It is your turning point day

We all need to focus some time on developing our turns. I’d suggest taking a few minutes before your practice and search YouTube for some videos of perfect turns. Try to see if there is anything more you can do. Maybe on your flip turns make sure to come out of the wall on your back, take a few butterfly kicks while moving to your side, and finally meet the water’s surface by pulling with your bottom arm. You should be coming up for your first stroke well after the flags.
