Jan 10, 2015 – Podium Swim Club – Aerobic Endurance

We’re still focusing on aerobic endurance at the moment, so our sendoffs for this set are quite reasonable.

However, we add in a little strength work in the pushups and treading water to keep the HR up a little, and to stress the arms and legs during the main set.

The warm up allows for stroke work / drills, and includes some kicking. In the main set, we liked the 100’s done as free, but the other reps we had the athletes do their choice of stroke, but intervals were the same regardless. So these sets could approach high aerobic depending on the athlete.

In the second main set, it’s short, but we wanted the effort a little higher. Athletes were asked to tread water during the recovery periods with arms above water. Kicking was vertical kicking – free or stroke specific.
