Back to the pool this Wednesday after a few busy days that kept me out of the water. Decided to work off short blocks of 100’s mixing low-end aerobic freestyle & backstroke and sets of 25’s alternating sculling & underwater kicking.

As I start to feel better and with enough lane space during regular lap swimming hours, I’m trying to implement a bit more of butterfly into my short workouts. This Friday, I also included a couple short sprints and some faster 25’s.

This Wednesday, I had to go to the pool a bit earlier than usual and had also less time at my disposal. Still got a good workout in and was trying to slowly integrate more “regular sets” into my routine.

This Monday started my last week with the team in Biel already and with the good progress working together over the last weeks, we combined elements from the previous training weeks with the longer uninterrupted swimming and bigger kicking focused main sets.

Saturday morning “racing” practice for the Beluga kids in Biel. They will soon have their first competition of the season and today we really wanted to hone in on starts and underwaters with a couple high quality sprints.
