This was a “swimmers practice” to encourage the athletes and to have a “feel good” workout. The atmosphere was very good and it was a good last workout before the weekend competitions.

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.

Long course Wednesday morning workout from my time with the Fighting Manatee Masters Swim Team in Florida. One of our goals was to improve all four strokes to a level where everyone on the team could compete in at least one other stroke than freestyle.

Wednesday evening we usually work in up to 4 groups to make sure everyone gets as close to personalised training experience as possible. It’s never going to be good enough for everyone but I hope better than having everyone do the same workout.

Today’s warm-up includes balance exercises, kicking to get the heart rate up and at the end some distance per stroke to get the most efficient stroke possible.

According to the feedback of my athletes that session may have been a little too hard. During the morning workouts, I usually try to stay within the “theme” of the week but make it a little more “fun” for the athletes.

This was our first pace focused workout after our one week “recovery” transition. I also wanted to take advantage of the long course setup and used some aerobic swims before the pace sets to help them set up their strokes for the faster swimming.
