Mar 6, 2013 – T2 Aquatics – Active Rest “Fountain” Set
This is an active rest backstroke workout. We snuck in some quality, technical Breast Drills and Fly Swims to get into the workout – and finished with some fast underwater 25s.
Feb 20, 2013 – Vevey Natation
Coming off our Christmas training camp, we have been lacking mostly speed. I kind of expected this as December to February is usually a more training focused time for us.
Feb 18, 2013 – Vevey Natation
Monday evening workout following an hour of a dryland circuit training. We worked in two groups and still kept the aerobic elements but added intensity.
Feb 13, 2013 – Vevey Natation
Wednesday evening has been our stroke specific day of the week in this preparation cycle. The aerobic-recovery remains an important part of this workout but it did include some short high intensity or fast pace swims depending on the group.
Feb 12, 2013 – Vevey Natation
Follow up on our Monday workout – another afternoon focused on aerobic-recovery getting a big part of the aerobic work done through kicking and drills. We also kept working on our speed with some short sprints and a couple fast 25’s.
Feb 11, 2013 – Vevey Natation
This was Monday evening four weeks out of our National Championships. We were about to enter our last two weeks of high intensity training but of course recovery starts to play a more important role at this time.
NTC Aquatics – Championship Season
I am a firm believer morning swims are everything in swim meets and our swimmers know that the minute the jump in the water.
