Weekly Swim Set: Thursday, 20th February 2014
Only one swim set this week and a simple one at that - lots of 100s.
One solitary swim set this week as I only coached Tuesday’s sessions. Today I’m on a plane, on my way to Lanzarote for two weeks of standing pool side in the sun.

A simple set on Tuesday: warm up, then swim as many 100s as you can within the remaining time. Pacing was to be consistent and for those who could manage over 10 the rest period tightened. The biggest challenge though was counting and the rules were if you weren’t sure do an extra one.
It’ll be a change from the regular schedule next week, but with daily swims on camp they’ll be plenty of new sets available.
