This main set got many thumbs up today from the Masters group that Barbara coaches.
MAIN SET: 1100 + ?????
Set was written for a 25-yard pool.
Goal is to descend your time on each of the 200s...and to make the second 100 faster than the first 100. Fins are optional on the 200s and 100s. Whatever you choose to swim (IM, FRIM, or FREE), do the same thing throughout the set. FRIM = IM, substituting freestyle for butterfly.
2 X 25 dolphin kick, no fins, on :40 or :45 sendoff
1 X 200 IM, FRIM, or FREE on 3:15 (fastest swimmers), 3:30 (middle lanes), 3:45 (slower lanes)
2 X 25 flutter kick on your back, no fins, on :35 or :40
1 X 200 IM, FRIM, or FREE on 3:15, 3:30, or 3:45
