Swimming Set of the Week - February 4, 2011

 What kind of set do you do when half your team is out with the flu, the other half is just back from two weeks of bronchitis ("bronchation"), and everybody is late because they're plowing out from 2 feet of snow?   

Open House!  Keep it mellow.  Allow lots of choice.  Let them start whenever they get there.  The healthy ones can push the pace.   Here's what our Masters did yesterday following 36 hours of snow....
