02/24/04 CCB Masters T-15s and 250 IMs

It’s T-15 week. We run the timed swims in heats throughout practice, so in order not to wear out the swimmers going in the later heats, I wrote a practice that would be relatively EZ at the beginning.

WARMUP: 400
400 your choice. Fins optional.

MAIN SET: 1700
Swim 6 rounds of the following. These are continuous, 250-yard swims. There’s no sendoff. Just take some rest between each one, then go again. We wore fins for the entire set.

50 “FLY” + 50 “BACK” + 50 “BREAST” + 100 FREE

Round #1:
FLY = Head-Lead Body Dolphin
BACK = Head-Lead Active
BREAST = Head-Lead Body Dolphin on Your Back

Round #2:
FLY = Hand-Lead Body Dolphin
Back = 6-Count Back
Breast = Hand-Lead BD on Your Back

ROund #3:
FLY = Skimmers
BACK = 2L/2R Backstroke
BREAST = BD Breast

Round #4:
FLY = Alternate 1 cycle Fly and 1 cycle Breast
BACK = Alternate 4 strokes Back and 3 strokes Free
BREAST = Alternate 1 cycle Breast and 1 cycle Fly

Rounds #5 and 6:
FLY = FLY

BREAST = BREAST
