We also do a Sprint Challenge Circuit. Each part of the challenge is about a month apart. No intervals – swimmers go when they are ready. A pre-meet warm-up precedes the set. Active recovery is encouraged, but not required. Swimmers get 5 failures at any step before the set is cut off. If a swimmer tries 5 times without meeting goal, the set is over and they are out of the set – send them to a different training group…
Part 1:
Pre-Meet Warm-up then
3 x 50 Off The Block @BT +2.5
3 x 50 Running Start @BT +1.5
3 x 50 Fins @BT +.5
Part 2 (approximately one month later):
Pre-Meet Warm-up then
2 x 50 Off the Block @BT +2.0
2 x 50 Running Start @BT +1.0
2 x 50 Fins @BT
Part 3 (another month apart):
Pre-Meet Warm-up then
1 x 50 Off the Block @BT +1.5
1 x 50 Running Start @BT .5
1 x 50 Fins @BT -.5
Running start sprints – begin the stopwatch when the final foot leaves the deck. Fins can be from a push or dive – your call.
