More training and the tow line


Coach Mark worked with Todd on kicking, pull outs, and then on the 3rd practice, he introduced the "tow line". You put the harness on which connects to the line and it tows you down the pool. It can be set to a desired time for 50 meters. It allows you feel the speed of a certain time and to find areas of resistance in your stroke. Todd was a natural at this and they kept speeding him up and he did a great job swimming at higher speeds. After the first time in which he held a stream line the entire length, Todd proclaimed Firestone needed one of these!

Check the pictures and I'll try to post a short video of it.
