Breaststroke Mini-Set. This little breaststroke split was our last chunk of practice. We only had time to do 2 rounds, but our breaststroke group liked the combination of drill/swim and br/fr.
Butterfly & Underwaters 25s & 50s. I thought I had this one planned out pretty well... turns out we had to insert a 25 EZ with the :40 rest t I get back to same end as our fins.​ All in all it turned out to be a good set. #swimmingwizard
