New Year Swim Practices

Happy New Years everyone!

I will be away for the first part of January so the first coached practice will be on Friday January 20th.

Hopefully everyone managed to not overdo it over the holidays. But if you did, here are a couple of sets to get you burning those calories up. Use these as a main set in your workout. Combine them with a warmup, drill set and a pull or kick set to make a complete workout.

Angie's Revenge:

10 x 100 fr @ challenging pace time

The Broken Mile:

Swim 11 lengths, take 10 seconds rest,

Swim 10 lengths, take 10 seconds rest,

Swim 9 lengths ...

Etc, etc ... until you get down to 1 length at which point the set is done and you have swum 1650 meters, or 1 mile.

The Eight Steps to Swimming Nirvana:

1 x 200

2 x 175

3 x 150

4 x 125

5 x 100

6 x 75

7 x 50

8 x 25

This is a 3000 meter set that can be swum as a whole workout. Mix in some drills, kicking and pulling for some of the distances.

That's it - get at 'er!

See you on the 20th.
