Swimming Set of the Week - June 18, 2010
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.
Breaststroke - Breath Control
To really excel at breaststroke, you need to be able to control your breathing...and not just the breathing in, but also the breathing OUT!
