GoSwim GoldMain Set Thursday - February 2, 2012 - Groundhog Practice
4 commentsInspired by Barbara's Groundhog day practice. While maybe not as creative, it's all in the delivery.
Main Set Wednesday - February 1, 2012
Well... the water was freezing, so sometimes you have to abandon a regular workout plan, and improvise to keep people moving.
Main Set Groundhog's Day
Here's a set for Groundhog's Day that combines teamwork and a lot of underwater breath control.
Main Set Tuesday - January 31, 2012
Main set today included freestyle 50s and 100s, with a couple of kick sets at the end.
Main Set Thursday - January 26, 2012
Kick focus today, with some smooth swimming between for recovery.
Main Set Wednesday - January 18, 2011
Learning what a solid pace to hold is typically a work in progress... understanding how the water feels as you travel at that pace is a learned skill.
Main Set Tuesday - January 17, 2012
Descend 200s with active rest. Another good practice if you're prepping for the One Hour Swim.
Main Set Sunday - January 8, 2012
Today marks the 9th anniversary of Barbara's Masters team, the UVRays. To celebrate the day, they swam a workout filled with "9s."

This main set got many thumbs up today from the Masters group that Barbara coaches.
Main Set Tuesday - January 3, 2012
100s! Just a few, but three different ways to attack descending intervals.
Main Set Friday - December 23, 2011
Easy pattern to follow, but there are two ways to approach a set like this.
Main Set Shortest Day - December 22, 2011
How to celebrate the shortest day of the year (Winter Soltice is at 5:30 UTC on December 22, 2011)? With short sets of 25s!
Main Set Thursday - December 15, 2011
Mellow 400s today, interspersed with 75s that get faster throughout the set.
Main Set Wednesday - December 14, 2011
Short set in every stroke today, including a very short butterfly set that keeps popping up....

As a coach, I like giving sets where everyone is on the same sendoff.
