a morning swim... a little test
Gavin Lee
In the past, the sets below were ones that I would do regularly as pull with fins. I like pulling with fins for 2 reasons; 1) fins do not provide the buoyancy like pull buoys and require you to engage the core for rotation, 2) it’s fast and fun to kick off the walls with fins while working on the underwater streamline kick, but no kicking after the breakout.
When I was last in swimming shape, 7 months ago, I would begin with a 32-31 sec 50 then work it down to a 22-21 sec by the last on. Today was my first attempt at anything resembling a workout, managing only 5 rounds of the second set. I think I’m about 4-5 sec slower… oh well, got something to work on!
10 Rounds: Total 500 yards
50 pull with fins @ 1:00, descend effort by 1 sec/50
10 Rounds: Total 1000 yards
50 pull with fins @ 1:00 EZ Distance Per Stroke
50 pull with fins @ 1:00 Descend Effort by 1 sec one even 50’s
Thank you so much Luke for the morning swim!
