Friday afternoon session with two athletes from the Swiss Swimming Training Base (NLZ) in Tenero while the rest of the team and the athletes from the Army group were away for a meet.
I had a coaching certification going on that weekend and couldn’t attend the meet with the rest of the team. The two athletes from the NLZ staying home were both coming back from injury and not ready to compete. So their coach asked me to work with them while he took care of the Army athletes at the meet. Overall a relaxed session with some easy pace and speed work during the 50’s of the main set.
