A Look Back
Years ago I wrote a weekly blog for the club website. I thought it would be interesting to look back at those blogs and republish them here. I have edited out a few irrelevant parts.
With more people in the pool we also got a chance to practice drafting. I like swimmers to leave :05 after the person in front of them but if you have seven in a lane and are doing longer repeats you end up with a bottle neck. The solution is to push off the wall one right after another with no wait time. This means getting your head up a little and drafting off the person in front of you. Great skill practice for actual competition.
With more swimmers it's hard to do real long repeats so try making that a part of your weekday practice. You should do at least one 1500 yard timed swim per month to gauge your cruise interval speed. Figure out your 100 yard pace for that swim and that should be the basis for setting your intervals. For example, if you swam the 1500 in in 25:00 your 100 pace would be about 1:40. If you are swimming 100 yard repeats you would set your intervals based on that time. If you were doing 200 repeats you would set your intervals on twice that time or 3:20 and so on.
