Some swimmers are still finishing this short course season, but some have just finished.
The question this week is: How long of a break do you take between seasons?

4/6 DAYS NO MORE |

None, because we only get 3 sessions per week (Sat, Sun, Mon) each week |

I'm a triathlete, so my season is just gearing up right now. But I take a couple weeks of "off season" at least at the end of the season. I will still go to the pool and do some easy swims. 2 or 3 sessions a week. Active recovery sort of stuff. |

None. During "seasonal breaks" I am in the water every day, except Sundays. |

I AM CONFUSED , I THOUGHT , SEASON MEANS EVRY 3 MONTHS SO I AM SORY, IAM PRACTICE EVRY DAY EXCEPT FRIDAY, AND WHEN I AM ILL ! |

3/4 weeks... then we start Long Course, it is kind of nice to have that off to catch up on schoolwork or try different things |

As Sprinter saids, always in the water, windsurfing, surfing, swimming,...., sunday too...Just stop swimming on sore shoulders situation. |

We provide an option for swimmers to train 3 days per week for the 2 weeks off between seasons. It's an opportunity for us to stay in touch with the water, stay in shape a bit, and work on technique. No intensity and it's not required, although many take part. We provide a limited edition t-shirt as well, as I can be fairly creative when it comes to t-shirt ideas. |

I discovered that there's no such thing as an "off-season". This winter, I was busy learning how to swim so I can compete in triathlons instead of duathlons. However, from the majority of articles I've read, the off-season is best for working on your weaknesses, whether it's in a sport or multiple sports. Breaks or rests I should say, should come into play during your training, all year-round. Proper rests will give you more in return from all the hard training. |
