Mar 18, 2021 – Swim Regio Solothurn

Mixing relaxed aerobic and speed work this Thursday morning with the student-athletes of the sports class. They were still encouraged to work on their main stroke (fly or breast) whenever it says “choice” below but we left it a little more up to themselves this morning finishing with a short 400 focused stroke work and some floating.

The PDF download contains the details of the early morning workout from our distance and backstroke specialists following a similar pattern but doing different type of work to cater to their respective events. You’ll also get the details of our quick afternoon swim with the rest of the team ahead of a virtual team meeting.
