stufff
By the way - feel free to comment and tell me how off base I am or not in respect to these workouts. Got a great quote from my "head" team manager - "Do it fast, do it right, enjoy the pain". A Daltonianism
SOOOOOOO - ooops I'm not supposed to start a sentence that way. Sorry Dave. My good friend Dave says he actually looks at this thing and promptly informed me that I am BEHIND! Oh - such irresponsibility. But I can't give away all the secrets. For those that are interested, by the way, the new Sun Prairie High School pool is looking pretty sweet. It's a lot closer to home and doesn't require a bus ride to get to (from Sun Prairie). We are almost done with "boot camp" and preparing for our first dual against Janesville Craig. Today we worked on slightly new relay exchanges. I guess I'm maturing a bit in what I expect from a relay exchange. I liked what I saw today in the practice. We are going with one leg back, bounce along with the incoming swimmer to feel their rhythm, time that last stroke, huge step forward, with a reverse swing, and explosive start. I like it. I like both feet at the front of the block on the take-off. Think we will go with it for now.I think I truly like the consistency. Posted below are the last 2 weeks of practice. Hope it is informative and helpful. Remember - modify as needed. Oh yeah, gotta give some credit to Coach Brett for allowing me to beg, borrow and steal. No idea is ever my own. (Unless it is totally crazy and misguided).

day 2 of high school swimming - backstroke drills
So we are on to day 2 and I am guessing everyone is going to be slightly sore. No big time sprinting today but not a lot of rest. We'll work our backstroke skills and see if we can loosen up the body and continue to gain some cardiovascular and muscle endurance. We'll follow the morning with some painful dryland (which is much too tedious to post - sorry). We are going to be tough cookies!!!
By the way - one can use a washer, or whatever to put on the forehead (see below) for backstroke - we will use a cup with some water in it today cuz it's what I have. Happy swimming!(Remember - if you are using these workouts, you will need to modify your intervals. We are working in a 25 meter pool.

Freestyle - aerobic workout - high school
So here is day 1 of Sun Prairie High School Swimming (this doesn't include dryland). These are excellent freestyle drills and a tough workout to follow. Not for the soft at heart. Have at it swimmers!(3 different levels posted - drills included in group 1.) It's in the vicinity of 5000 meters including drills - I suggest doing drills as 2x 25's.
