Jun 30, 2014 – Rattler Swim Club Junior Olympic Group

This workout covers underwater dolphin work, IM drilling, and a deconstructed IM race as a main set.

Because I work with mainly 12 & unders, I often like to take a race plan and break a set up to simulate that race plan. For IM, I’m looking for my swimmers to stay long on fly, attack back and breast, and charge home on free. The main set covers that race plan.

I also forgot to put the easy 25 on the 1:00 after the sprint 125 IM during the main set. That should be there.
