TritonWear<\/a>\u00a0is the proud sponsor of the Set Of The Week.<\/p>\n

This week’s TritonWear Set of The Week focuses on the 200 IM in a unique way: using 175s. Here is the set:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4 x 175 IM @ 2:40 (hit best 200 IM time)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 x 200 free breathing pattern 3 @ 2:50<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3 x 175 IM @ 2:50 (hit best 200 IM time minus 3 seconds)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 x 200 free breathing pattern 3 @ 2:50<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2 x 175 IM @ 3:00 (hit best 200 IM time minus 5 seconds)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 x 200 free breathing pattern 3 @ 2:50<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 x 200 IM Off the Block<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 x 200 recovery<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The set comes equipped with goal times for the 175s. On the first set of four 175s, the swimmers need to go their fastest 200 IM time. This shouldn’t be too much of a challenge since they are swimming one less lap. The first four 175s can be achieved\u00a0at a more controlled speed. To hit these goal times, the time intervals aren’t terribly fast. The swimmers should get a solid amount of rest on it.<\/p>\n

In between sets of 175s are relaxed 200 frees with a three-stroke breathing pattern. These are designed to be a recovery while also working on proper freestyle breathing.<\/p>\n

On the three 175s, the goal is to shoot for three seconds under their 200 IM time. This will get slightly harder, but the rest also increases. Nonetheless, the effort will need to increase. The same goes for the two 175s, where the goal is five seconds under their 200 IM time. Similarly, the rest increases here, and the swimmers should be working for that goal time.<\/p>\n

At the end of the set, top it off with a 200 IM off the block for time and see how close they can get to their actual 200 IM time. For experienced swimmers and IMers, hitting these goal times will be somewhat difficult, mainly because it gets tougher to push off near best times in practice as you get older. The under-three and under-five second goal times, however, are certainly attainable for senior level swimmers. Age groupers, on the other hand, should have their goal times set at five and seven seconds under their 200 IM time with slower sendoffs.<\/p>\n

Give the set a try, and good luck chasing those goal times!<\/p>\n

TritonWear<\/strong>\u00a0creates 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
