Countdown 50's kick

Gauchos finished up the first week of training with a morning practice of some drilling, kicking, stroke specialties. During a kick set, we did a countdown going 50's @1:01. The idea is that you always have to come in by the top (or where you started/pushed off) and go a second faster by each 50. Two swimmers: Mariana Prutton and Ryan Garcia did 22x50's @1:01 which they descended to 38 seconds.

Anne Marie May had this paddle (AMM Special) for 3 years. She is finally strong enough to break a paddle. In this picture, she was supposed to show a crack instead of breaking it. Can you see how surprised she was?
