This was a speed focused day with sprints in the morning and an anaerobic main set for our sprint and mid-distance swimmers in the afternoon. Our "distance" swimmers weren't completely on the same plan and had a basic aerobic main part in the afternoon . . .

Day 3 — Week of November 19, 2012

T2 Aquatics (USA)

Our main workout today, after some aerobic on Monday and Active Rest on Tuesday — was geared to be a “Dive Speed Set” for Wednesday afternoon.

 

Wednesday AM was a little bit of Aerobic conditioning (you can’t have too much of this, as long as the group can handle the volume!) 9×300, descend….with some good FIN work at the end. We are continuing to build our base back up after the Florida HS season.

Wednesday PM was set up to be 5 rounds of Dive 100s off the blocks. I was not impressed with their first round (effort, intensity, results)….so I gave them something to shoot for….and as an incentive I put a limit to the set based on their positive performances.

Day 2 — Week of November 19, 2012

T2 Aquatics (USA)

This is the third workout of the week. After a double on Monday, we did a single on Tuesday….and this is a “typical Tuesday Active Rest” day for us! The workout is pretty simple.

Get some good 300s, then some good 200s, and finish it off with some good 100s. The rest interval on the 100 easy increased by 10 each round. Sometimes I increase the easy 100s by 5, but in this set I wanted a drastic increase….and figured that because the distances come down drastically (from 300s to 200s to 100s) — I had to make sure they were getting more rest at the end when I want the higher level of intensity.

Day 1 — Week of November 19, 2012

T2 Aquatics (USA)

There are actually two workouts provided in this submission. To me, single workouts only tell you part of the story…and I like my athlete’s week to flow seamlessly from one workout to another as much as possible.

The AM workout is a simple “get started on the week” workout. My goal was to focus on the components of training: kicking and pulling, and finish up with some speed (50s with no breath 2nd 25). We had great results this morning, with many athletes kicking personal season best 200 Kicks (within a 8-9 second descend).

Our swimmers were taking too long to get in the water and I got really frustrated with the situation and decided to change the workout after the first warm-up set.

This is a recovery workout we did about one week out of Swiss SC Nationals. Longer warm-up working "the walls" (strong push-offs, streamline, fly kicks off the wall, etc.) and a main set giving each athlete the opportunity to work on his/her technique . . .

This is a morning workout we did early in the year. Another one of those workouts where our focus was on swimming fast in the morning. We also split up into different groups to cater more closely to the different athletes and their events . . .

With the focus meets of short course season coming up soon, morning workouts are still an important part of our routine. They might not be mandatory on all mornings we offer and not everyone is going to make the same workouts anymore.

But as much as it is important that they get those few extra hours of sleep and recover, I also want them to keep the rhythm of getting up in the morning and put their body to work (got to swim fast in the morning if you want to come back in the afternoon).
