Written for a middle school girls team.
Twelve Days of Christmas, traditional style where every preceding LINE gets repeated with each new verse added to total.
- First Day of Christmas, 1 no breath flip turn
- Second, 2 two hand touches
- Third, 3 fist pumps of emotion
- Fourth, 4 poolside press ups
- Fifth, 5 seconds rest
- Sixth, six various stroke drills *
- Seventh, 7 strokes of partner pulling (or kicking)
- Eighth, 8 descending 25s
- 9th, 9 underwater fly kicks after a dive
- Tenth, 10 med ball trunk twists
- Eleventh, 11 lengths of backstroke
- Twelfth, 12 (x-yard) Individual Medleys
Totals:
if x-yard = 100-yard, then 12 x 100 IM = 1,200 yards
(Could be 200 IMs, or even 50-yard or 25-yard IMs.)
550 backstroke
30 med ball truck twists
4 x 9 dives with underwater fly kicking (Bob Gillett style)
5 sets of 8 x 25 descending = 1,000 yards
36 press ups
12 flip turns without breathing
* Tips for the SIX stroke drills wild-card is going to take a blog posting. Stay tuned.
