T2 Aquatics – Freestyle Descending Set

T2 Aquatics (USA)

The athletes I had do this workout are male High School athletes, who have been 409-418 400 Free; and 16:35-17:30 1500 Free.

 

We have been getting after some LCM descending sets recently — as well as some other LCM Threshold-type sets that basically have been centered around repeating on (115) and (110) for LCM 100s.

We do this sort of work 2 times per week freestlye, and 1x per week IM — and balance it with a strong Backstroke “Threshold” set each week, plus 2-3 active rest sets each week (we work all strokes on Active Rest sets).

T2 Aquatics – Younger Age Groupers Capacity “Team” Set

T2 Aquatics (USA)

Our T2 Aquatics age group squads do a great job mixing their style of training. We do a number of things:

  • we train the athlete’s technique,
  • we train their ability to swim well technically at pace,
  • we train the athlete’s kicking ability,
  • and we train the athletes to improve their aerobic capacity.

The following practice was geared toward the improvement of our athlete’s aerobic capacity, and in addition — was geared toward developing their mental strength to deal with discomfort during practice.

NTC Aquatics – Morning Speed

NTC Aquatics

We wanted to emphasize some of the work done the night before, this morning. Our compliment was to work on some speed this morning just to get the group ready for great morning swims in championship kids of events.

However, our last set was directed to get some pace done for 200 races. Some of my impressions with this group is how we lack some closing speed in our races. We need to fix that issue and here is one way to achieve that task.
