Five 8s

“Five 8s”
1 round for time
5x Figure 8

Target Time: 7min

Figure 8: Designate the “halfway” point of your pool, swim freestyle to that point, dive straight to the bottom, and finish the rest of the way underwater utilizing the keyhole stroke. Once you touch the other side of the wall, do the same thing going back. The full completion of this is 1 Figure Eight.

This week’s workout Wednesday consist of one simple but difficult pool movement, the Figure 8. At DEF we firmly believe that what you cant’t measure, you can’t improve. So give this simple yet challenging workout a try.
