Instructions • You need to view this presentation as a slideshow. When you are in slideshow mode, you will not see any menus. If you can see menus, then, on the high level menu select “Slide Show” and then on the sub-menu select “From Beginning”. • When in slideshow mode, pressing the Space Bar will take you to the next slide. You can also use the Up and Down arrows to move forward and backwards through the slides. • To exit slideshow mode press Escape.
Delivering these sets • It is always a challenge to deliver sets such as these to swimmers who may be hard of hearing, may be wearing ear plugs, may have ears full of water or may not be paying attention. • The skill for you is to describe the sets in a manner that is both concise and simple. • These sets are somewhat difficult and wordy to describe, however they are generally simple to deliver. • Initially, I recommend delivering these sets to one or two lanes only and not to the whole squad. • Good luck
