Hey guys! I am going to have you follow a week behind the Comp Blog swim sessions but I am going to dial back the distance since most of you have not been in the pool. Please let me know how the distance feels and if you are able to get to a pool weekly. Thanks!
Warm-Up
Four sets of:
25 Meter Finger Tip Drag
(FTD: Drag your fingertips along the surface of the water as you recover. This drill encourages high elbows.)
Rest 20 seconds between each 25 Meter efforts
Followed by…
Four sets of:
25 Meter Kick For Count of 3 and then take 3 arm strokes; repeat for the whole 25. Count of 3 is 1, 1000, 2, 1000, 3, 1000.
Rest 30 seconds between 25 Meter efforts
Main Set
One set of:
25 Meter Stroke Count of 70%
Rest 15 seconds
50 Meter Maintain Stroke Count of 70%
Rest 30 seconds
100 Meter Maintain Stroke Count of 70%
Rest 30 seconds
50 Meter Maintain Stroke Count of 70%
Rest 30 seconds
25 Meter Maintain Stroke Count of 70%
Followed by…
Every Minute on the Minute for 8 Minutes:
25 Meter Swim
(The focus of these 25 meters is to tucked your chin and rotate your head to breath; one goggle in the water, one goggle out.)
The pool I swim at is 25 yards which is 22.86 meters. There is also no clock so I guessed the rest times and the EMOM times.
Finger tip drag✅ I have done this drill before
Kick for count of 3✅
Main set✅ Not sure what stroke count of 70% means. I just swam at about 70% effort.
EMOM ✅
Was good to be back in the water. I’m definitely out of swimming shape.
Bummer they don’t have a clock!
I can get to the pool weekly, Thursdays should work. I will check with my PT tomorrow morning if Iʻm ok to swim now with my calf.
Awesome – let me know!
PT says itÊ»s fine as long as I donÊ»t do any real hard kicking right now….but found out this morning that our pool here is not going to be open on Thursdays until the first week of June,.
I can get to the pool once a week. I have been back swimming for about 2 months now but not every week. I usually get to the pool on sundays. Is it possible to get a weeks programming at a time as we are a day ahead in NZ so it would allow me to plan training for a week. If it’s not possible then that’s fine
I am going to send an email to our group about this!
This is great! I’m going to the pool tomorrow. I will be swimming Thursday mornings.
