The set begins with 2 x 125’s as 50 kick, 50 stroke drill, and a 25 stroke build. Following that are 3 x150’s as 100 free moderate, :10 rest on the wall, and a 50 of their stroke fast. Next are 4 x 50’s focusing on a fast middle 25 with a great turn, and each round ends with 8 x 25’s alternating between working on fast breakouts and fast finishes.

The set is written as three times through above, which allows your IMer’s to do one round of each stroke. For mid-distance stroke swimmers, it may be helpful to do rounds one and three their main stroke and the second round either a secondary stroke or freestyle. Overall this is a great set to get some focused stroke work in that will keep your athletes engaged with also getting in a good amount of aerobic work. Happy Swimming!
