Gotta Hit Those Walls

Ryan Woodruff
Head Coach
Lynchburg YMCA


So much of performing good turns in short course fly and breaststroke swims comes from spacing the cycles out correctly.  The key is that swimmers hit the wall at the conclusion of a full cycle, and not on a short stroke or a long glide.  This set is simple but demands exactly that.
