COACH'S CORNER: BREASTSTROKE - HIGH HEELS RECOVERY
The breaststroke kick is the most disruptive swimming move in our sport. Creating as little resistance as possible during the set up for this action can be a huge advantage to your swimming. The higher your recovery of the heels, the less resistance you'll create in setting up the kick. This over-exaggeration can help you get the feet a little closer to where you want them. Check out this great video of "how to do it really well!"
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - SILICON VALLEY KIDS TRIATHLON
Volunteers Needed: The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon held at DeAnza College on Sunday, June 10, needs volunteers. If you want to see 1,000 kids ages 5-16 compete in a swim, bike, run, sign up to volunteer! It's a blast! Email Coach Laura if you are interested.
