We have about an hour for most of our morning workouts. Our goal for all of those morning swims is to complement the afternoon sessions or use it as an active recovery “tool” after a hard workout the night before.
This would be considered a recovery session for that week. Yes, this was done long course and there were 25’s and 75’s – I like to think about what I want to accomplish in a workout without considering “constraints” such as pool size. Plus, it’s easy enough to stop half way – keeps everyone engaged early in the morning.
