This was Mhyria’s only swim for the day and as she was going to work on her upper body strength in the gym in the afternoon therefore Coach Olsen wanted the session to contain some kind of kicking.

Friday morning workout from the Fighting Manatee Masters Swim Team in the Florida Keys. Although this wasn’t a kick focused session, there was a good amount of kicking with the 50’s in the main set.

This Tuesday afternoon workout was designed to target Lactate Tolerance and keep our athletes aware of the feeling at the end of a race. I always look at our workout as a whole and think “every set is a main set”, to where each element builds up and is intertwined somehow.

This is a Monday evening workout where we are able to swim long course but “only” had two lane lines available to us.

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.

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.
