Swimming Set of the Week - January 8, 2010

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.

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.

Swimming with the Masters this morning

By Glenn Mills to Gold (Advanced) | May 01, 2009 10:22AM | 10 comments 10 comments

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.

75 IM Set

By Glenn Mills to Gold (Advanced) | Apr 29, 2009 07:21AM | 7 comments 7 comments

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.

This set of 225 IMs will help you focus on how fast you FEEL rather than on how fast the clock says you're going.

Here's a 2000-yard IM set that's heavy on freestyle, but gives you plenty of opportunities to swim fast on the stroke portions.
