Aug 8, 2012 – Florida Keys Swim Club – Toy Day

Even when training mostly Age Group athletes, you need to break the rhythm of “crushing” them in every workout and give them something “fun”. Coach Jon Olsen calls these practices “toy days”. If you don’t have the equipment mentioned below, you can of course just do the session without any of the special “toys” or replace them with other equipment you have available such as drag shorts, etc.
