Swimming Set of the Week - April 24, 2009
This week's set is in response to a recent post in the Go Swim forum regarding "spinning" while racing.
Swimming Set of the Week - April 17, 2009
This set of 100s offers a "take it to failure" challenge as well as a mental challenge to keep track of the sendoffs. As you progress, be ready to deal with those two voices in your head... the one telling you to swim fast enough to make the next sendoff, and the one telling you to slow down so you don't make the next sendoff.

This swimming set comes from my good friend Chris Weissman. Who made him do it I'm not sure, but it's a swim set that can cover a large group, with many ability levels, and is as challenging as it is adaptable to any swimmer.

This set of 225 IMs will help you focus on how fast you FEEL rather than on how fast the clock says you're going.
Swimming Set of the Week - December 9, 2008
This week's set is a favorite at taper time -- roughly two or three weeks away from a big meet. It asks you to do 12 X 100, descending time gradually, and with control, until you're within six seconds of your target race time on the final 100.
Test Set for 100 Race
Starting to gear up for a championship meet in mid December. The 8 X 75 breast at a controlled descend was the main 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.
Swimming Set of the Week #2 -- October 14, 2008
Here's an alternate to set #1 -- for the mortals among us.
Swimming Set of the Week - September 30, 2008
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.
Swimming Set of the Week - September 23, 2008
Now that you're a few weeks into a new season, your shoulders SHOULDN'T be hurting but, in case they are, here's an IM kick set that will give them (and only them) a rest. This one's worth trying even if your shoulders are fine.

Dunno, but as he barely moves despite his paddles and great force applied to them, there should be a rope attached to his back ;-) more » -
