Swimming Set of the Week - August 13, 2010
IM set this week. Actually, it's a FRIM set but you can do IM if you want to kick it up a notch.

IM set this week, with plenty of chances to work on butterfly arm recovery, back/breast transition turns.
On the road shooting more video, we got Eric Shanteau to do a quick demonstration of a back-to-breast crossover turn. Much more to come on his upcoming DVD.
This week's set starts out mellow, then gets serious at the halfway point.
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.
IM set this week to work off some of the pie dough and whipped cream.
Find a swim buddy who's about your speed to help push you through this IM set.
Not too tough, but a fun IM practice that allows you to focus on proper technique with lots of rest.
This set is in honor of Scott May, a Masters swimmer on the team that I coach. He's got a Big Birthday coming up and is doing this challenge set tomorrow.
My friends (ABC, The Annapolis Breakfast Club) who swim in the same pool each morning have a standard Friday morning practice. Depending on how you approach it, it can either be easy or hard.
While the distance and/or sendoffs aren't very tough, you can make this practice a winner by really working your turns, streamlines, and pick a very important aspect of your freestyle to work on through the entire set.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
