We decided to reshoot and repost this drill because when we originally posted it, there was no sound on the video. On YouTube, when people see the old version, they commonly respond that there are no flip turns in butterfly... in this drill, there are.
Learning what a solid pace to hold is typically a work in progress... understanding how the water feels as you travel at that pace is a learned skill.
Descend 200s with active rest. Another good practice if you're prepping for the One Hour Swim.
Here's a 300-yard mini set that works well as part of a taper practice.
This week's set asks you to swim in all the different training zones, from recovery/aerobic, all the way up to above race pace.
With the talk of tech suits coming back up, I thought I'd post a pic and short video of what people still use their tech suits for.
This week's set, like Glenn's kick set from May 25, 2011, demands close attention to effort and pace...and the ability to do math in your head while swimming.
Sometimes the shortest sets can teach you the most about where you are.
A nice main set this morning getting the heart rate up a bit, and then working some pace stroke.
Working on pace and turn technique today. Here's what we did with the Masters team, but it works for swimmers of any age and ability.
Sometimes you just have to swim the long sets. This opportunity to just keep moving means you're really going to have to develop some flow and efficiency.
This week's set allows the entire team to swim on the same sendoff. It's also a good set for working your closing speed on a 200 or 400.
The clock is ticking on the Kingdom swim, and while I've been spending more and more time in the open water, we can't always just hop in the bay.
