An additional goal is to increase your pace slightly on each round. Active Recovery means that instead of hanging out at the wall after each of your swims (50-100-150-200), you pause for a second to get your time, then push off and start your recovery swim. When you finish the recovery swim, wait no more than 6 to 9 seconds (till the pace clock hits 5, 10, or 15, etc.), and push off on your next swim. So...each round is kind of like a continuous swim. Our swimmers took a little extra time between rounds to regroup -- not more than 30 to 60 seconds, however.WARMDOWN: 100 to 200 EZTotal Yardage: 2600
