You'll find this weeks sessions here. You probably knew we were going to get around to the question of flip turns eventually. When you download this week's workouts you'll find that discussion therein. There are two fairly advanced swim skills that go nicely together: flip turns and 2:3 breathing. One is hypoxic, the other is the antidote to hypoxia. That's one reason why I thought it better to broach the subject of breathing during consecutive strokes before we talked about flip turns.
I don't expect you to latch onto either of these "devices" and make them your own for a period of several months. If, 4 months from now, you say, "I can't do a flip turn to save my life," or, "I can't take breaths on consecutive strokes, period," then we'll have to go back and take a look at what you're doing. But I do think these are two skills that will pay you dividends.
For those of you who missed the beginning of this challenge, you can start now. Here are the workouts to date:
