GoSwim GoldAll Strokes - Change-of-Direction Relays
1 commentSwim training has a bit of monotony built in to it, so when there's a chance to break from routine, it's good to combine some athletic moves into the fun.
Main Set Monday - IMs
Mixing up the strokes at the beginning of the week challenges some swimmers, but it keeps things interesting!
Main Set Friday - SPEED!
While the main set sounds simple, it can be one of the toughest sets swimmers do.
Main Set Wednesday - Gearing Up for a Meet
Teaching swimmers how to work isn't just for kids... masters need a little help too.
Main Set Monday - Starting the Week with Pace
Some short and some longer swims to start the week off at masters practice.
Main Set Monday - Just Swim Some Freestyle
A simple set that has a recovery piece that's just a bit longer... affording you more rest if you maintain your pace.
Main Set Wednesday - More Fast 50s
Really packed lanes mean's you just can't swim that far... so you'll need to demand performance at a more consistent level.
Main Set Monday - Tough 50's
Here's a quick set of 50's that you can throw into a workout to keep the swimmers on their toes.
Main Set Monday - Alternating Smooth & Challenging
Getting in some early week work with crowded lanes.
Main Set Monday - Hold Your Pace
Start the set with a pace you feel confident you can hold for a long time. Be careful not to be too aggressive at the beginning, it just may creep up on you.
When is it time to throw your practice in the trash?
All coaches and teachers should start every session with a plan, but sticking to the plan line-by-line doesn't always make for a productive practice.
