Phase II Fall Break → mid January

• Individual correction for procedural mistakes (the group should be able to do a set on their own)

• Review technical decision making: (streamline, no breathing first stroke, flip turns every wall)

• Descend warmup intervals, maintain technique expectations

• Technical nuance (1-2 elements per stroke per week)

• Fast kicking (30% of every practice, ~2:1 work/rest)

• Simple or familiar structure for most swim sets - raise expectations of technique from phase I

• Group correction (start over) for technical mistakes

• Kick sets are the most challenging part of practice - even on non kick sets

• Dive + glides (wait until phase 2 when kids have recognized how bad they are at starts lol)

• Progress toward a set “if they can do X in practice, there’s no WAY they can’t do Y in the meet”

• Competition Goals

• Challenge Sets

• Dryland

• Technique
