The two boards are 1 listing of four columns. The list is three columns deep on the first board, extending to a fourth on the second board. Within those columns, there are three fields. The first is the time goal. The second is the length. The third is special conditions on certain lengths within the set. The sets have increasingly more difficult time and skill goals until, ultimately, the lengths drop, and then that length set has increasingly harder time and skill goals until, ultimately, that set length drops, too, etc. The sets start at 150yds and eventually work down to 25yds. |

Maintain a regressive 2 seconds interval for distance pulling a length as needed. Would this be some sort of grueling test set? If so, it would be interesting to compare results between distance, mid, and sprinter types on excel chart. The last 100 looked the fastest |

Interesting concept for Sean, but not correct for what's on the whiteboard. Steve, you've got one aspect of it, but again not quite what's on the board. Clue #1: 5 swimmers did this set. |

Well, then it's clear that the third column isn't initials for a special technique at a given length of the set, but those are swimmer initials of swimmers that pulled a length to make the next time goal. Right? |

Not quite. Clue #2: There are five "columns" on the first board and one "column" on the second board. |

bah... you're right. I knew that, too. I'm not sure why I said that first board was only three columns deep when I was so clear that there were three fields to each column. D'oh. Also, I also now realize that I screwed up my own terminology in my last quote. let me restate: Well, then it's clear that the third field of each column isn't initials for a special technique at a given length of the set, but those are swimmer initials of swimmers that pulled a length to make the next time goal. Right? |

Maybe our terminology is different for "pulled a length." I initially interpreted that as using a pull buoy for a length, but if you mean they cut back on how far they swam in order to make the sendoff, you're correct. Five swimmers of varying ability did the set. When they all swam the same yardage on a particular interval, there's no notation of their initial. If they swam different distances on a particular interval, the coach noted (with an initial) who swam what distance. All in all, a tough set that lasted about an hour and twenty minutes (and kept someone very busy at the white board). |

clearly a very busy whiteboarder! |

I would much rather do the 5th column set, even though net distance seems the close. Sprinter |
