We have open-water swimming on our minds this week, after watching two thrilling 10K races at the London Olympics. To honor the world's best distance swimmers, and in remembrance of one who could not be in London, this week's set is a distance set shared with us by Fran Crippen when we filmed him in 2010.
The two most difficult things about swim practice are... getting in... and getting out.
Are you a swimmer who operates like a vacuum cleaner, with one speed and a very simple ON/OFF switch? Or are you a swimmer who operates more like a high-tech piece of stereo equipment?
Mixing tether work into a practice where everyone is on the same sendoff. Good for team building.
Pace set this week...which should turn into a speed set at the end if you swim it correctly.
Mid-distance freestyle today, interspersed with short sets of stroke.
This week's set keeps everyone on the same sendoff or turnaround...and challenges all levels of swimmers.
We're a couple days early with our July 4th set...just in case there's no practice on the 4th (a national holiday in the USA) and you want to swim this on July 3rd.
This week's set asks you to tire the body with 100-125 yards of swim or kick, then climb out and dive in for a really FAST 25...then repeat.
