Following up on last week’s introduction, we have it out about 100×100 and sets like it. We take both sides of the debate and discuss some of the things we look for when considering a swim practice like this.
We try our best to keep the episodes around 30 minutes and almost run out of time on this one. There will certainly be another “Myths and Legends” show in the future as we have more workouts like it in the archives to talk about.

About Chris DeSantis Coaching
There is a lot more to excellence than how you move in the pool. Your mindset determines how much you get out of a practice or a competition. Serious swimmers also know that technical skills make all the difference. Coach Chris can get you personalized workouts that deliver incredibly efficient results. You can get improvement with less time in the water and a better life out of it, keep the sport fun for kids, or take high level performance even higher.
How old were the swimmers? Would you do something like this with 11-14-year-old swimmers?
In my case when I did it last time with a team a couple years ago, all athletes were 14 and up. We also had a 3h practice set aside for this session and it was during a training trip. With younger swimmers you could potentially have everybody follow the same interval and adapt distances to 75’s or 50’s – or try 50×100’s instead to see how they do. As we mention in the episode, it might actually be less about the 100×100’s more so about challenging the athletes and have them achieve something they didn’t believe possible.
