Week 10: April 11- April 15

Well yesterday was the last day that I am going to be getting results from the six swimmers. But, don't be sad! More new and exciting things are on their way! I have started my extremely fun research paper and am almost done with it, I just need to add in the results and some cool fancy words.
Technically Swimmer 1 still has to make up one more 15 minute session, but the rest of the swimmers have concluded their sessions.
Yesterdays practice was extremely difficult, with a lot of sprinting so the swimmers where very hesitant to begin the 15 minute session. I had them do a few extra 50s of just regular swim to get their heart rate down and their muscles relaxed. I watched them swim and analyzed the things they need to work on in the drills.
Swimmer A is breathing late so I had them do the fingertip drag drill just to slow down their stroke. Swimmer B is pushing their head down again so they did freestyle with the kick board so they wouldn't worry about moving their heads so much. Swimmer C is still entering their hand in sideways so I told them to try and exaggerate their hand to the whole other direction in hopes that it would make it normal. They also did fingertip drag drill to slow down. Swimmer 1, 2 and 3 did six kick switch with three to help with shoulder rotation and reaching their arm out to pull as much water as possible. Everyone did one 50 and then a 25 to the other end so that we could do the 50 sprint.

Swimmer A went  33.15 seconds
Swimmer B went  32.02 seconds
Swimmer C went  35.78 seconds
Swimmer 1 went  34.44 seconds
Swimmer 2 went 36.27 seconds
Swimmer 3 went 38.85 seconds
