Last week I had a guest athlete swimming with my club. He was heading to FINA Masters Worlds in Montreal, so to help prep him with some final quality work, we had everyone get involved. It was an opportunity to work on speed, stroke-work, and form. Race prep, without too much fatigue was on the agenda.

T2 Aquatics – Big Warm-up Aerobic Day

Send-offs are based on the base 100 times of the athletes . . .
