Day 6 & 7 — Week of November 19

T2 Aquatics (USA)

This workout starts off pretty typical for us: some kicking, some pulling, then some drilling. The Main Series is a “traditional” IM set I used to do in Baltimore (as a swimmer, and as a coach). It’s based off an IM set we used to call the “Janet Evans” set.

For whatever reason, back in 1992 when I was doing it as a swimmer, we called it the “Janet Reno” set because we changed the “Real IMs” which defines the “Janet Evans” set to “Free-IMs” which defines the “Janet Reno” set. For those who do not know: a “Free-IM” is “Free-Back-Breast-Free”.

The set is awesome because although you’ve got to descend the Free IMs, you have to hold yourself together on the 200-400-600-800 Free — which particularly as you get into the 600 and 800 is a huge challenge. The Free IM 200s should be descended.

Day 5 — Week of November 19, 2012

T2 Aquatics (USA)

Generally on Fridays I ask the athletes to do a major Kick Set. Our set for today, for most people is 12×100 on (2:00), kicking 3 100s of each stroke FAST.

 

The (2:00) interval for us is pretty long, so the athletes on this particular day are getting more rest per repeat than they generally get during kicking sets. The 25s at the end are designed to allow the athletes to access a little bit of speed — which at the end of the week is very important.

Right now we are in a situation where about half of our team had their first peak at SC Nationals and now everybody is focused for Regionals mid December. This "double peak" represents a challenge on many levels for our athletes . . .

Nov 6, 2012 – Vevey Natation

Vevey Natation

Two different swim workouts — IM focus with short faster swims for the younger athletes and a “taper” workout from the group resting for SC Nationals.

Cabrini College – Training for the Mile

This workout was done in preparation for our December Invite which is this weekend. None of our distance swimmers have had the chance yet to swim the 1650 so we wanted to give them a chance to see where they are with their training.

In Geneva Coach Morgan had a great success with short axis stroke. This is a Saturday morning workout from the butterfly group. Breaststroke and IM swimmers did almost the same thing that morning, except for the monofin set at the end . . .
