This workout is Erika Erndl’s 10th day back in action after an end-of-the-summer break. The Fly set is mainly active rest but it evolves into straight swims at the end.

Last Wednesday, we undertook an anaerobic focus. Right now we find ourselves in an aerobic phase. Under the aerobic phase, I believe it is important to add at least 1x time per week a really challenging anaerobic workout.

This is a sprint workout from a few of my swimmers who did an extra session in the morning this Monday to kick off the new week. We mostly wanted to get some more close to race speed swims done and teach our bodies to be ready to compete in the morning.

I would consider this an aerobic recovery session. Don’t waste your time to look for something “special” in this workout. There are days where you just have to get the work done and stick to plain simple swimming.

This was one of those “odd” fly/sprint workouts from the Lancy Natation Elite Group. Getting ready to race long course in March, keeping the yardage up was a constant in all swim workouts in that period. Those sessions are either relaxed longer or short sprint swims.

Our first week of the 2012-2013 season had a focus on butterfly. This was our second day back in the pool and we were literally “flying” that evening. The focus for this workout was on various aspects of butterfly technique.

This workout starts with some dryland including medicine balls for about 30 minutes. The warm-up set is a drill progression I call “Early Vertical Forearm” (EVF) – you can do that drill for freestyle and backstroke.

Today’s workout has four parts. First, the warmup, which is 2750 yards long. I hope to keep them moving for the full 42 minutes, and achieve some cardio training. Second, the technical set of 25s is a set we have been doing this fall. The athletes are getting pretty good at kicking head-first with their hands at the side, so we’re continuing to hone that skill.
