Swimming Set of the Week - February 10, 2009

This IM set asks you to come up with drills "on the fly."  The idea is that you should start each swim without pre-thinking what your drills will be.  Come up with the drills as you push off  the wall, and try not to repeat the same drill more than once or twice.   FIns are optional throughout the set.   The effect is a little like downhill skiing or slalom -- you have to stay mentally awake!

1 X 400 IM (25 kick/25 drill/25 kick/25 drill in each stroke)
