The idea on the first 2 X 75 is to swim really easy and to focus on the fine points you want to execute in your race. Focus points might be head & eye position, hand entry, breakout position, body position going into the turn, finishing your kick, etc. As the swims get progressively faster, try to hold on to your focus points and execute them to the best of your ability, even as you are going faster and dealing with more fatigue. On the final 2 X 75, the focus points should be "in there." Just swim.WARMDOWN: 200200 EZ plus 2 starts from the blocksTotal Yardage: 2600
