We had extra room today and so we decided to have the kids race a lot.  We wanted them to understand that even though they were tired they were still able to get up and race back to back.

WARM UP
24x25 free with snorkels@30 (focus on long stroke head steady)
24x25 back @30 (focus how far can you push the underwater, but you have to be up in 5 seconds)

Pre set
12x50 kick @1:00
12 x50 free pull@1:00 paddles
12x50 free to back @1:00 fast turns hold underwater for 5 seconds

Main set
1x50 free all out for time
10x50 free all out for time with fins ( must beat time fro first)
100 easy kick and get ready for one more 50
1x50 free for time with fins (fastest of day)

We had 24 8-12 year olds and all 8 lanes (3 heats of 8 with one heat swimming at a time. The next heat was responsible for getting the time and letting them know.  The kids had a good time and felt involved with each other.
