Season at the Y – Week 2

Kevin Pierce - Cabrini College (USA)

For all the age group coaches out there I decided to post a seasons worth of workouts from a group I coached at the Y back in 2005-2006. The season consisted of 25 weeks and I was working with mostly beginners who were new to the sport of swimming . . .

These two Tuesday evening workouts are basically the same. However, mostly due to time restrictions with the Junior group, I had to adapt their session. I always write out the workout without considering any of the restrictions we might face on any given day.

This workout is focusing on different kicking speeds. The session starts with 30 minutes of running and 15 minutes of stretching. Finally we went through an IM set with drills, each round swimming a new stroke going IM order.

This set is designed for everyone to hit the maximum level of lactate! I think it is an opportunity for every swimmer to see what they are capable of doing and how much of a challenge they can assimilate.

This workout is a great way to train back-half speed with great stroke and no scrambling. I believe there’s a big difference in “sprinting” a 100 – to “see what you can do” and splitting a 100 Negative by 1.0-1.5 seconds.

This morning was more of an aerobic technique with mixed pulling and some kicking drills. However, tonight we emphasized work on threshold.
