Swimming Set of the Week - January 6, 2009
Butterfly-lover's IM set.
Two IM sets. One from Glenn, one from Barbara. Go get 'em.
Starting to gear up for a championship meet in mid December. The 8 X 75 breast at a controlled descend was the main set.
Take your pick of these two sets that make use of the number "11" in honor of US Veterans and in honor of Armistice Day...the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Here's a set of 10 X 200 IM that's taxing but not crushing, because it combines fins, drills, straight swimming, shifting sendoffs, and some broken swims. If you want more yardage, do the set, then 100 easy recovery, then repeat the set.
Here's an alternate to set #1 -- for the mortals among us.
Here's an IM set that can be either quick (800) or less quick (1600). It's the kind of set that carries you along and seems to be over before you know it. It also keeps you off balance in terms of how much rest you get after each swim.
Here's an IM set that will keep you on your toes, mentally, and keep you off balance in terms of how much energy you have when transitioning from one stroke to the next.
Starting a new season? Here's a drill-heavy IM set to ease you back into shape.
This set of 100 IMs offers a "take it to failure" challenge as well as a mental challenge to keep track of the sendoffs.
Here's an IM set inspired by Michael, Ryan, Katie, Natalie, Kirsty, Stephanie, Laszlo, and all the other great IMers we've been watching in Beijing.
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.
