Swimming Set of the Week - October 7, 2011
We continue the theme of preparing for an SCM meet in an SCY pool. This week: preparing for a 100m race by swimming broken 125s in yards.
Main Set Thursday - September 22, 2011
Lots of 125s today -- getting ready for our SCM meet in a SCY pool. This one pleased both the distance swimmers and the sprinters. Some of the distance swimmers stayed and did the set twice.

Challenging IM set with the Masters this morning. Lots of opportunities to work on your transition turns.

Been traveling this week, and it's always fun to swim with another Masters group. Here's what the SCAQ (Southern California Aquatics) team was doing today. Thanks, Coach Gina, for the workout!

This week we again take one of Glenn's Big Sets and modify it for, say, a Masters team or age-group team.

Special Black Friday workout. A nice long set to work off the extra dressing and gravy. Posting early in case you want to plan ahead.
Swimming Set of the week - November 12, 2010
This week's set is a continuation of our set from October 15, 2010. Everyone on the team goes on the same sendoff. The set generates a certain amount of nervous energy (the good kind) throughout because no one knows exactly how s/he will perform on each segment. Effort level ranges from aerobic to very anaerobic.
