9 commentsLeap Year (and Olympics) come just once every four years. Why not celebrate the extra day by taking a leap?
Valentine's Day Main Set & Playlist - February 14, 2012
A red-hot cardio workout for Valentine's Day. Share the love!
Main Set Wednesday - November 30, 2011
As a coach, I like giving sets where everyone is on the same sendoff.
Swimming Set of the Week - September 2, 2011
Challenge yourself this week with some 200s, 100s, and 50s on varying sendoffs.
Swimming Set of the Week - May 20, 2011
This week's set requires the entire team to work together...to end the main set :)
Swimming Set of the Week - May 6, 2011
Looking for speed but not necessarily all-out sprinting this week. This set also exercises the brain...it can be challenging to figure out your sendoffs on the first part of the set.
Swimming Set of the Week - November 26, 2010
Special Black Friday workout. A nice long set to work off the extra dressing and gravy. Posting early in case you want to plan ahead.
Swimming Set of the week - November 12, 2010
This week's set is a continuation of our set from October 15, 2010. Everyone on the team goes on the same sendoff. The set generates a certain amount of nervous energy (the good kind) throughout because no one knows exactly how s/he will perform on each segment. Effort level ranges from aerobic to very anaerobic.
Swimming Set of the Week - October 15, 2010
Long set, best done in a 25-yard or 25-meter pool. Everybody on the team goes on the same sendoff.
Main Set - Wednesday - September 22, 2010
Just pure pain on this one... and it's now 6 hours later and I'm still sore.
Swimming Set of the Week - August 20, 2010
This was the crowd-pleaser of the week for the Masters team that Barbara coaches. The set, which is a "take it to failure" set, can be swum as all freestyle, but it also lends itself to variation.
Swimming Question of the Week - June 16, 2010
After finishing the Chesapeake Bay Swim last weekend, a couple friends had commented that it was the longest swim they've ever done.
Swimming Set of the Week - June 11, 2010
While some swimmers are racing in open water this week, others are getting ready for championship meets. This set is for those racing with a black line down below.
Swimming Set of the Week - June 4, 2010
This is one of my go-to sets when I need a practice that provides some easy swimming as well as 50s that can be as challenging as you want to make them. It's a set that accommodates a broad range of swimmers if you have a mixed team.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 19, 2010
Got championships? This week's set can help you taper, but can also be a good anaerobic set at any point in the season.
