Morning Torture with Cords
Here is part of our practice from this morning. A little trick we saw last week from the big guy, J.L.
Legs Ouch
Here's a nice practice that overloads the legs just a tad. Do it right, and you'll be wobbly all day.
Figuring out Intervals
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.
Swimming with the Masters this morning
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.
Pulling / Kicking / Swimming Fast
The main set is long and, depending on your mood, filled with intensity... at least one part.
75 IM Set
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.
November 4, 2008 - Election Day Practice
Here's a practice created by our local state representatives. Should be interesting to try, but pay attention.
10/28/08 Stroke Practice
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.
Breaststroke Main Set with Tempo Trainer & Tether
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.
Long Pace Set
As we get ready to start resting for a big meet in a couple weeks, we're finishing up pace and endurance work.
Maintain Fitness Practice
Here's part of a practice that keeps the swimmers moving and challenges them to find another level.
Controlled Descend Set
The lifeguard came over after I finished this set and asked if I was OK. Have fun! You need a Tempo Trainer.
