Oct 15, 2020 – Swim Regio Solothurn

Recovery focused Thursday evening workout for the Senior group in Solothurn prior to our second “race day” with prelims and finals simulation during this holiday training for the two Friday practices. Everybody went through the same first part for the main chunk of work before splitting into groups for the swim down part.

You can download the PDF that includes details such as ideas for warm-ups & swim downs as well as the evening group recovery (this week by our Head Age Group Coach) from these two Friday practices.
