10/28/08 Stroke Practice

Posted by Glenn Mills on Oct 28, 2008 08:28AM (7,401 views)

Heavy breaststroke practice which requires good speed as the intervals get shorter but also doesn't overload the breaststroke swim too much by mixing it with freestyle.  Hopefully, this means the stroke can stay more technically correct through the set.  The overloading of the arms between the 200's helps to build strength and endurance.

This practice looks nice, but what do you mean with "Stroke" ? Maybe breastroke?
Thanks a lot

Usually it means anything but freestyle. In that set of 8 X 100s, you could do the "stroke" as IM order... or breast or back or fly. Hope this helps.
