Flying Pigs

  Austin Trinity, Austin Texas   /  Coach Doug Russell

We got this base set for under-waters from the women’s program at the University of Arkansas several years ago and we use it often with variations. We call it Soo-E-Pig.
We almost always use it as a fin set. We train in a 25 meter pool. The basic set is 4 under - 1 recovery (we call it “over”) , 3 under - 1 recovery, 2 under - 1 over, 1 under - 1 over. We usually repeat it 4 times though. Today we went with a variation to work our butterfly and up tempo our Freestyle.

Soo-E-Pig
  1. 6 dolphins - 3 strokes Fly - if not at wall back under water and work finish.
  2. 5 dolphins - 4 strokes Fly - same
  3. 4 dolphins - 5 strokes Fly - also
  4. 3 dolphins - 6 strokes Fly - again

As they work through the set they drop a round in sequence.
