Nov 9, 2020 – Swim Regio Solothurn

Aerobic focused Monday evening workout integrating a few short sprint sets as we continue our “extended recovery cycle” to prepare for our intrasquad meets.

As last week, we started our session with a “wide range of movements” during the first part to “replace” our usual on-deck warm-up activity. Our only athlete still competing at the upcoming Swiss Short Course Nationals got out towards the end of the second part as she’s doing somewhat of a “drop taper” for the championship meet.
