Summer Training Block

Warmup

4 X [150 + 3 X :30 second vert. kick + 6 X 25 uh2o to side kick at 15M] @ own sendoff

Main Set

5 X [3 X 25 + 75 + 2 X 100 + 150] @ 40-1:30-2-3

*25's are uh2o FAST, 75 is swim with uh2o to MP-15M off every wall, 100's are best 2 board kick's you got, make it a pair, 150 is also swim, going to MP-15M off EVERY wall

Notes: the 25's underwater and the 100's are easy to get the effort up, the true test of this set is if you can do the 75 and 150 the right way, carrying your un2o's off of every wall.
