TritonWear<\/a> is the proud sponsor of the Set Of The Week<\/p>\n

The TritonWear Set of the Week\u00a0is a unique mile pace set provided by Coach\u00a0Jimmy Smith<\/strong> of the Riptides Racing Team in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The set looks like this:<\/p>\n

3 Rounds<\/em><\/p>\n

1 x 275 cruise @ 3:30<\/em><\/p>\n

2 x 275 fast (raise heart rate) @ 3:25<\/em><\/p>\n

3 x 275 at 1650 pace @ 3:20<\/em><\/p>\n

Coach Smith credits the idea behind this set to his old boss\u00a0Ian Gross<\/strong> at Stingrays Swimming in Marietta, Georgia. Smith likes the set for its familiarity and the fact that it’s just “some really good aerobic work.” And he’s right. It’s 4950 yards of solid aerobic and distance swimming.<\/p>\n

The workout is a sneaky way of doing three 1650s (six 275s equals 1650!). It allows the swimmers to build into their pace as well. The early 275s, the cruise and the fast, get the swimmers into a bit of a rhythm and get a feel for the water. They’re effectively warmed up for the pace 275s.<\/p>\n

Besides the fact that six 275s add up to a 1650, you may ask yourself what’s so special about 275s? When you use a 3:00 275 pace as a guide, it works out perfectly. If the miler paces 3:00 on each of the 275s, they’re pacing for an 18-minute mile. For every five seconds the miler paces above or below 3:00, add or subtract thirty seconds from the 18-minute mile. For example, if the swimmer hits 2:55 on the 275s pace, then they would be pacing for a 17:30 mile. The same goes if the swimmer is pacing 3:05 on the 275s. Then they would be averaging for a 18:30 mile.<\/p>\n

Swum three times through, this set is great for mile preparation. It demands endurance and consistency, which is a crucial component for any mile race. Time intervals can be adjusted if need be, but 3:30. 3:25, and 3:20 is a good mark for a lot of milers.<\/p>\n

Happy distance swimming!<\/p>\n

TritonWear<\/strong> creates superior athletes by making more effective and efficient coaches. They do this with their unique wearable technology which provides real-time performance data from each athlete in practice as well as long term tracking of each athlete over time.<\/p>\n

The Triton is a small device that hooks onto the back of a swimmer’s goggle strap that automatically calculates over a dozen performance metrics like splits, stroke count, stroke rate, DPS, turn time, time underwater, and more.<\/p>\n

All of this data is sent in real time to a coaches tablet for every athlete in the pool. This allows coaches to spend ALL of their time coaching and focusing on technique instead of rapidly grabbing splits and stroke rates while giving peace of mind that the data will be there when they need it.<\/p>\n

Once the workout is over, each swimmer’s workout data is automatically uploaded to each swimmer’s respective profile to allow for long term tracking over the season. This allows both coaches and swimmers to make sure they stay on track towards their seasonal and longer term goals. With a few clicks of your mouse, easily compare your performance on test sets over the year and find weaknesses in your stroke. Track your improvement on these weaknesses and see how that results in FASTER SWIMMING!<\/p>\n
