With a large and important Invite meet beginning the following day (prelims, finals over two days) we had an easier day to prepare. A longer warm-up, using “The Brick” to work on underwaters. As stated before, if you don’t have access to these boards, just work underwaters without anything.
Two quite different workouts with an aerobic focused morning and speed focused evening session . . .

Coming off our meet – and knowing we have a very big Invitational Meet on the weekend, we bring things down a bit and focus on aerobic work.
Wednesday morning “active recovery” style practice going through a 2k kicking set and some short fly & breast tempo work. Intervals were on the easier side, allowing for plenty of rest and solid efforts during the kick set.
While we have a meet the following day, it’s against a non-conference team so we did a little work during practice that’s harder than usual for a pre-meet session.
Monday afternoon Age Group (athletes ages 11-12) practice starting out with some aerobic capacity work before a technique focused freestyle part and a little speed work to finish the session.
Coming off of another Dual Meet - albeit an easier one - we continue with the quality efforts. Speed work is the primary target of the main sets . . .

A short practice session. Coming off Spring Break training, and a meet tomorrow, we ease up on the guys a little!
Tuesday afternoon practice focused on speed and underwater kicking. Overall not a lot of intensity in the water as a rather demanding dryland session preceded this workout . . .
