Coach Notes
The swim coach was asked to define any shorthand he or she used in this workout. Their notes should provide some additional context to this swimming workout.
twelve’s routine is an u/w kick drill we do, add up number of seconds before you initiate a kick + the number of dolphin kicks + the number of flutter kicks + 2 strokes without breathing = 12, for example 1+3+6+2 – 1 second before you initiate fly kicks, then 3 fly kicks, then 6 flutter kicks, then 2 strokes without breathing
