Aug 12, 2013 – Fighting Manatee Swim Club
If you’re a beginner or intermediate level swimmer, these workouts from the Fighting Manatee Masters group are perfect for you. Adapt your rest interval or send-off time to challenge yourself as you go through the workout.
T2 Aquatics – Mid-Season Distance Workout
This practice was geared towards High School — aged mid-Distance/Distance swimmers.
Aug 9, 2013 – Fighting Manatee Swim Club
This is another morning workout from the Fighting Manatee Masters group in Islamorada. Only my second workout back in the water and it looked much easier than it actually was.
Aug 7, 2013 – Fighting Manatee Swim Club
This is a morning workout from the Fighting Manatee Masters group in Islamorada. I’m actually back in the Keys for a couple days visiting “home away from home” and got in the water with everyone. The group has swimmers of all ages and abilities.
Rattler JO Group – Sprint 50 Set
The main set of this practice is a set I do roughly every two weeks or so and it is a teaching tool for my 12 and unders. I use the main set to teach how to train with intensity using their own 50 free times.
T2 Aquatics – Back into the Groove
We came back from our Sectional meet, swam the following day to the tune of a 3500 Kick/Pull practice, then got back into it with the following workout. We have one swimmer going to JRs, two to the US Open, and two to Zones.
T2 Aquatics – Active Rest Taper Practice
This workout is an example of what our 18 & under athletes do for a “late-in-the-season” active rest practice. You can see how it compares to some of the active rest practices that we have done earlier in the season if you search the workout archives.
July 17, 2013 – Rattler Swim Club JO Group Practice
This workout is dedicated to working race strategy through the design of the main set. This is a set given to 12 and under swimmers as a way to teach them our standard 200 race plan, which is to build the first 100, then race.

At an earlier practice in the week, the concept of “Restart Positions” was introduced to the athletes. The dictionary definition of “restart” is: to start again or anew.
Thus the “Restart Positions” are designed to get the athletes to start anew in terms of body position and feel for the water. This concept of restart is something that I picked up from Matt Kredich (The University Of Tennessee – Knoxville) and his staff and then modified.
