1 commentAn IM set done by someone who doesn't particularly enjoy long IM sets.
All Strokes - Warm Up!
So it's not a drill, or even a focal point... but without this common occurance in swimming, you're just not ready to swim.
Main Set Wednesday - March 21, 2012
Trying to convince people to plan for what's to come is sometimes tricky. Today was no different than yesterday... almost like a theme is building. Going to have to mix things up a bit more tomorrow.
Main Set Tuesday - March 20, 2012
This is another "planning" set. You have to start with a pace you're going to finish with, and plan that you'll be able to hold that pace through the entire set.
Main Set Thursday - February 2, 2012 - Groundhog Practice
Inspired by Barbara's Groundhog day practice. While maybe not as creative, it's all in the delivery.
Main Set Wednesday - February 1, 2012
Well... the water was freezing, so sometimes you have to abandon a regular workout plan, and improvise to keep people moving.
Main Set Thursday - January 26, 2012
Kick focus today, with some smooth swimming between for recovery.
Main Set Wednesday - January 18, 2011
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.
All Strokes - Medball Toss
If you're looking for challenging ways to gain fitness for your legs, while adding a fun aspect to your training, medballs can certainly help accomplish that task.
Just Do It!
One of the most-quoted sayings in the world is a marketing campaign by Nike... Just Do It! What sheer genius in the simplicity, and the ability to bring in every sport, every culture, every ability in one simple, three-word phrase. The question for us is: What.... is... "it"?
All Strokes - Get-Out Swim
Ever since there's been competitive swimming, there have been get-out swims. A great way to encourage swimmers to go faster than they thought they could, with the cherry of getting out of practice 10 minutes early.
Kids Are Like Dogs
After working for several decades with swimmers of all ages, it struck me the other day that young swimmers are like dogs.

100s! Just a few, but three different ways to attack descending intervals.
