Swimming Set of the Week - January 8, 2010

Posted by Barbara Hummel on Jan 08, 2010 10:14AM (3,006 views)

The twist on this IM set is that you're using a different piece of equipment (or no equipment) on every swim. This should take your mind off the fact that you're doing 500 yards/meters of butterfly. Have fun.

1 X 400 IM no fins

1 X 400 IM with fins (alternate drill/swim by 25 in each stroke)

1 X 300 IM with pull buoy (Wear the pull buoy for the entire 300. You can kick during fly, back, and breast; no kick during freestyle.)

1 X 300 IM no fins

1 X 200 IM with fins

1 X 200 IM with pull buoy (same instructions as above)

1 X 100 IM no fins

1 X 100 IM with fins

Total: 2000 yards/meters

IM, swim training

sprinter	Responded Jan 11, 2010 06:37AM this is not 500yards of butterfly... not even in total, however, it is just IM. I don't understand whay people get so scared of Butterfly. The Breaststroke should be more scary since it is harder to switch from Backstroke to Breaststoke
James Stuart	Responded Jan 12, 2010 04:29PM Cos butterfly is so demanding that why Sprinter - I felt that swim backstroke to breastroke easier than swim fly to backstroke
Andrew Cutshall	Responded Jan 12, 2010 04:51PM Great practice! I've been looking for something like this. And actually it's exactly 500 yards of butterfly, sprinter.
leo	Responded Jan 12, 2010 09:10PM I love this set it seem to that all stroke are work nicely
sprinter	Responded Jan 13, 2010 07:21AM ah yeah, I kind of forgot to calculate the 25s from the 100 IMs. My bad!
