    • 100 Pull

    • 100 Swim

  • 200 FR

Technique Pre-Set / 950
Triathletes: No changes

  • 6 x 75 Drill, as: (Rest 30sec between 75s)

    • 25 Sculling* no kicking (Watch how to scull here)

    • 25 FR Swim

    • 25 Sculling* kicking

* While sculling, don’t just move your forearms and hands. Intentionally focus on the feeling of holding water. When you start holding water while sculling, somehow the drill becomes challenging for your upper body muscles.

  • 5 x 100 FR DPS - Rest 30sec. between 100s
    Let’s bring back a DPS set. Can you remember how many strokes you did the last time we did this set? Hopefully, yes!!! If you don’t, write your avg stroke number on a notebook or your phone for the next time.

    * DPS: distance per stroke. Count the strokes it takes to swim a lap, and try to keep the same and over time reduce the number of strokes. When you drop strokes, it means you are becoming a more efficient swimmer.

Main Set / 2600
Triathletes: No changes


Note:
You will notice that for the following cycle (4 weeks), Tuesdays and Thursdays will be long-distance days. I have a decent number of swimmers preparing for 800, mile (SCY), and 1500.

    • 100 BA - 200 FR - 100 BA

  • 4 x 200 FR as: (Rest 1min between 200s)

    • Last 100 of each build (Start accelerating on the 3rd 50 and then as fast as possible the last 50)

  • 2 x 400 as: (Rest 1min between 400s)

    • 100 FR Fast - 200 BA or BR Moderate to easy - 100 FR Fast

Optional: if you still have time and energy, I like to finish this type of set with some sprinting.
