Specific Training Weeks for our Club Team are about preparing our student athletes in detail for whatever target competition we are aiming at. The week itself includes about 40-55 KM of pure training.
We like for swimmers at this stage to do more IM work as broken IM sets. We also like to do our “pre race warm-up” for everyone in question at this time; just so we can create a positive culture and ownership from the swimmers to their performances.

Additional Comments
We really like to utilize these kind of sets more as a team set than other goal. Our swimmers get really engaged and begin racing each other and usually something great comes out.
