More Pace Work
The clock is ticking on the Kingdom swim, and while I've been spending more and more time in the open water, we can't always just hop in the bay.

For this week's POTW, if you only saw it on it's own, it could create some questions... this is the answer to the question... "Why are you wearing a wetsuit in a pool?"
Here is part of our practice from this morning. A little trick we saw last week from the big guy, J.L.
Here's a nice practice that overloads the legs just a tad. Do it right, and you'll be wobbly all day.
This practice helps figure out what intervals you'll be able to train on for future practices. It's tough, challenging, but loads of fun... for the coach.
My friends (ABC, The Annapolis Breakfast Club) who swim in the same pool each morning have a standard Friday morning practice. Depending on how you approach it, it can either be easy or hard.
The main set is long and, depending on your mood, filled with intensity... at least one part.
While the distance and/or sendoffs aren't very tough, you can make this practice a winner by really working your turns, streamlines, and pick a very important aspect of your freestyle to work on through the entire set.
Here's a practice created by our local state representatives. Should be interesting to try, but pay attention.
Heavy breaststroke practice which requires good speed as the intervals get shorter but also doesn't overload the breaststroke swim too much by mixing it with freestyle. Hopefully, this means the stroke can stay more technically correct through the set.
Just a tough set that makes you hold things together (like cadence and fast hands) as you are experiencing the fatigue of a 200 race.
As we get ready to start resting for a big meet in a couple weeks, we're finishing up pace and endurance work.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
