This was the crowd-pleaser of the week for the Masters team that Barbara coaches. The set, which is a "take it to failure" set, can be swum as all freestyle, but it also lends itself to variation.

IM set this week. Actually, it's a FRIM set but you can do IM if you want to kick it up a notch.

This week's set allows you to work on three focus points for freestyle: low breath, Early Vertical Forearm (EVF), and 6-beat kick.

Just got back from coaching Masters. This was definitely the favorite set of the week.

Here's a short, quick set that combines stroke-counting and speed. It works well on the day before a meet, when you don't want to do too much, but want to know that your engines are firing and that you can generate easy speed.

This week's set can be used as an aerobic recovery set. For a more aggressive workout, pick one of the tracks (either the pulls or the IMs) and push those swims.

This is one of my go-to sets when I need a practice that provides some easy swimming as well as 50s that can be as challenging as you want to make them. It's a set that accommodates a broad range of swimmers if you have a mixed team.

IM set this week, with plenty of chances to work on butterfly arm recovery, back/breast transition turns.

This Set of the Week contains many short swims, but if you challenge yourself on the sendoffs, it becomes a distance set.
