For our set of the week...continuing the theme of stroke counting.
Main Set Thursday - Count Your Strokes!
Inspired by Glenn's recent stroke-counting set, we decided to do some stroke counting with the masters in Vermont today.
Main Set Monday - Remember Your Count

Swimming Set of the Week - June 25, 2010
Here's a short, quick set that combines stroke-counting and speed. It works well on the day before a meet, when you don't want to do too much, but want to know that your engines are firing and that you can generate easy speed.
