Main Set Friday - Pace
Today was about planning your set. We've done quite a bit of this, but it's a constant reminder of where you need to start your swim pace.

Here's a fun descending set of 50's that turns challenging the further you get in to the set.
Trying to convince people to plan for what's to come is sometimes tricky. Today was no different than yesterday... almost like a theme is building. Going to have to mix things up a bit more tomorrow.
This is another "planning" set. You have to start with a pace you're going to finish with, and plan that you'll be able to hold that pace through the entire set.
Here's a pace set to learn just how smooth, and how tough your correct pace for a 200 feels.
Kick focus today, with some smooth swimming between for recovery.
Learning what a solid pace to hold is typically a work in progress... understanding how the water feels as you travel at that pace is a learned skill.
100s! Just a few, but three different ways to attack descending intervals.
Easy pattern to follow, but there are two ways to approach a set like this.
Warning: Don't read this set if you're easily offended. I'm in a bad mood... sorta. ;)
Here's a set with NO intervals, yet, if done properly is an incredibly difficult set. If not done correctly... well... it's a complete waste of time.
Here's a main set for those upper level swimmers who need to get in shape. Enjoy.
Ouch on the legs this morning. I personally don't think people kick enough, so this was great to see.
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.
