This session is all about short and sharp sprints. After an easy warm up of Choice, Freestyle Pull (with a pull buoy) and kick (optional with a kickboard), we're going into a vertical kick sprint set. For 10 seconds hold your body in a straight vertical position in the water (about 10-15meters from the wall), like your standing up straight and kick your legs to keep your head and shoulders above the water. This is a great way to improve your kicking as you get instant feedback! After 10 seconds of vertical kicking, you start to lean forward while you keep your kicking going, when you lay in a flat and horizontal position you do a Freestyle Sprint into the wall, a quick turn and your sprint back to where you started. This should really shoot your heart rate up!
