This week's set combines many elements that coaches (and swimmers) should like: it's a team builder because everyone does the same set on the same sendoffs (except for beginners, who have a separate track); it's a set that pushes everyone to the limit; it's a set that you might not think you can make, but then you feel GREAT when you make it.
This week's set offers a way to introduce some really fast swimming, but without destroying the nervous system.
This week's set is a trimmed down version of a set that Glenn posted a few days ago...AKA it's a set for the rest of us :)
In honor of Valentine's Day on Sunday, this week's set is a cardio challenge. It's not a lot of yardage, but it will test your heart in more ways than one.
In addition to challenging your cardio system, this week's set is also a brainteaser. Just what you want for a 5 am practice :)
This week's set uses a descending sendoff and combines freestyle with choice of stroke (or IM).
This week's set is 9 X 200 with lots of rest, which means it's quality yardage
Getting ready for the One-Hour Swim? Here's a set that will help build your confidence and sense of pace.
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.
What else...The 12 Sets of Christmas. Happy Holidays, everyone, from your friends at Go Swim!
This week we're posting Leg #2 of the Triple Crown. Seventy-five swims on a 1:20 sendoff.
This week we're posting a set of broken 100s. This would work for an early taper...or a quality set even if you're not tapering.
