Freestyle Set for the Distance Specialist.
Mid-IM Work
Fast fly is Fun! I am a big proponent of making sure your butterfly swimming is with great rhythm and technique. In order to do that, keep it short and fast!
Rhythm Fly and Free. The purpose of this set was for us to get some medium-intensity butterfly reps in during some aerobic freestyle. We interspersed that with some brief fly sprints on large rest. Performance was solid on this one, but not amazing probably due to a difficult practice the day before. SCM.
Pre-Set with Fast Turns and Then We Go Racing!!!
Quality 75s. OTB = Off the blocks. FPA = Fastest possible average. Swimmers chose the stroke, but had to stick with the same stroke for 4 x 75 in a row.
