A “typical” speed workout with short sprints and lots of recovery swimming from the Lancy Natation Elite group. Most “options” are from the fly group but you could do the fly swim and kicking parts in another stroke using the same concepts.
For some getting out of bed and making it to morning swim practice isn’t an easy task. The next important step, we at Vevey need to work on, is getting our athletes ready to perform in the morning. It’s part of what they will have to do at the big end of season meets. This workout focused on slowly getting them moving faster as the morning got brighter.
Two workouts from the Lancy Natation Elite group. Some easy distance and IM work in the morning. The afternoon workout is from their fly group with more focus on speed.
This workout was a LCM practice designed to increase aerobic capacity in our T2 athletes. Nice way to start the week!
Morning workout from the Lancy Natation Elite group with an 8×50’s test set also know as “Russian Numbers”. Count your strokes on the first 50 and then keep the same stroke count throughout all 8 but getting faster on each one.
Workout from the Lancy Natation Elite group focusing on building and improving that crucial front end speed off the blocks.
Distance oriented workout mixed up with some short sprints from the Lancy Natation Elite group.
This a “breaststroke” workout, with a fly bonus set. The breaststroke set (4×200 down to 4×50) incorporates a drill “2 on 2 under” as a major part of the set. As an athlete progresses from the 200s through the 150s, 100s, and 50s, the pace gets quicker.
Day eleven had two workouts but unfortunately, we will only have the evening practice. This was the last workout for the Lancy Natation Elite group in Tenerife for their training camp. “Last one, fast one!”
Day ten was a special day during the 2009 training trip in Tenerife for the Lancy Natation Elite group. Not only because it was the last day of the year 2009 but also because they got to swim in the flume channel again. Those two workouts are challenging on several levels.
