I will try it too when I am in the pool next- When I read the headline I thought it was going to be like pool hockey where you actually play underwater- I was just waiting to see what they used as cups
I just started swimming again after a long hiatus so this will be a good drill for me
Thanks

Looks like fun

I average 19-21 strokes per 25 yards. I can't count 50 yards because I can't do flip turns, so I don't know how my "grab the wall and spin around" turns would affect that number.
I'm working with a coach to try to figure out how I can get more efficient in my swimming. I'm hoping to get my stroke count down to 16-17.

According to the article, 25m laps (flip turn or not) count as well, but because you get 2 pushoffs, saving you a couple strokes, 80 instead of 85 is the "sound barrier".
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
