Swimming Set of the Week - August 20, 2010

This was the crowd-pleaser of the week for the Masters team that Barbara coaches. The set, which is a "take it to failure" set, can be swum as all freestyle, but it also lends itself to variation.

While some swimmers are racing in open water this week, others are getting ready for championship meets. This set is for those racing with a black line down below.

This is one of my go-to sets when I need a practice that provides some easy swimming as well as 50s that can be as challenging as you want to make them. It's a set that accommodates a broad range of swimmers if you have a mixed team.

This week's set starts out mellow, then gets serious at the halfway point.

This week's set offers a way to introduce some really fast swimming, but without destroying the nervous system.

This week's set is a trimmed down version of a set that Glenn posted a few days ago...AKA it's a set for the rest of us :)

This week's set uses a descending sendoff and combines freestyle with choice of stroke (or IM).

This week's set is 9 X 200 with lots of rest, which means it's quality yardage

This week we're posting a set of broken 100s. This would work for an early taper...or a quality set even if you're not tapering.

This week's set is in response to a recent post in the Go Swim forum regarding "spinning" while racing.
