Breaststroke Kick for Butterfly

Many of you have already taken part in the FINA Technical Rules updates and are aware of the recent changes. However, I have been asked that you draw the attention of any Masters swimmers that you know of to the changes made to the Masters Rules with reference to the Butterfly.

The new rule is included below.

MSW 3.10 A breaststroke kicking movement is permitted for butterfly.

Only one breaststroke kick is permitted per arm pull except that a single breaststroke kick is permitted prior to the turn and the finish without an arm pull. After the start and after each turn, a single breaststroke kick is permitted prior to the first arm pull.

Pauline Brand

It is with great sorrow that I have to tell you that Pauline passed away just over a week ago.

Those of you that have swum with her over the last 10 years will remember a kind, determined and witty lady.

I have written a short piece to remember her by.

I'm sure that with me your thoughts go out to Judith and her sister and all those that she has left behind.

Breaststroke - Band Kick

Paul Rigden,
I've always believed that the BR kick needs to be narrow.  This drill works on it.  I wished I'd thought it up when I was in full time coaching.

Enjoy

South Yorkshire Masters 2009 Meet

South Yorkshire Masters 2009 Results

Ponds Forge December 2009

(or to be more accurate)

South Yorkshire Open Masters 2009

This is usually a big event in our calendar, marking the end of the year and an opportunity to have a drink or two together in the Elm Cottage when we get back, but unfortunately, on both counts it was a bit quiet.  Never mind, for those of us that went, it was its usual fun event and medals were won.

This year, Chris brought a team of 5 from Trenton Dolphins which included himself and Adam Bilton from Gainsborough.  As there were only six of us from Gainsborough and 5 of them, and we sat together and watched each other swim, I have included their results as well.

Our five swimmers were:

Mike Keeble
Mike Sloan
Mike Patchett
Mike (James) Lugg
Mike (Jari) Goddard
Mike (Sam) Garrison

TD’s five were:

Adam Bilton
Adam Butters
Adam (Chris) Webster
Adam (Mark) Smith
Adam (Matthew) Lumley
