Some Fun New Sets for 10 & Unders

1.  This one was a fun stroke count set that my Blue group did the other day.
Freestyle
3x25 (20 strokes per lap) on 40
3x50 (40 strokes per 50) on 1:20
3x75 (60 strokes per 75) on 2:00
-If they reach the max. number of strokes at the end of a repeat they must streamline kick to the wall.

2.  My Gold kids did this and really enjoyed it as it was a little different from our normal style sets.
6x through
1x75 Fly, Bk, Br x25
3x25 Free on 30 (descend 1-3)
{75's:  Round 1 on 1:30, 2 on 1:25, 3 on 1:20 - Then repeat bases for a second cycle} (focus on walls, make the base)

3.  Another Gold set that turned out way harder than I thought it was going to be.  A couple kids were on the verge of tears but kept at it.  I had to tell them to breathe when they need to despite what the set called for.
Freestyle w/fins
6x through
3x25
First 25: No breather on 30
Second 25: One breath on 25
Third 25: Two breaths on 20

4.  This was a fun kick set that we did.  It was easy but the kids liked it because it was a challenge and had a game type feel.
Kick - Choice
10x50 on 1:20
First 50: Straight, no rest at the 25
Second 50: One second rest at the 25
Third 50: Two seconds rest at the 25
4th-10th 50's: Add an extra second rest at the 25's
If you couldn't make it back before your send off, you were out.
