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

This week’s TritonWear Set Of The Week is a tiring sprint set designed to train for the 50, 100, and 200 freestyle races. The set is comprised of three different rounds and looks like this:<\/p>\n

1 x 150 free make cycle<\/em><\/p>\n

*100 recovery @ 3:00 at end of each round<\/em><\/p>\n

For the purpose of this set, ceiling times are the\u00a0slowest<\/em> a swimmer can go on their respective ceiling time. Everything in the first round is on two minutes – yes, the 50s, 100s, and 150s – but the swimmers are not to go any slower than their ceiling time. The goal on each 50 and 100 is to be as far below the ceiling time as possible.\u00a0The fastest ceiling time is set at 25 seconds, but can be changed depending on the swimmers’ abilities. On round one, you start with three 50s all out. With the interval set at two minutes, the swimmers will get plenty of rest. Because of the rest, the intensity of the swim needs to be high.<\/p>\n

After the 50s, the rest gets a little shorter and the set becomes a bit more taxing. Now, there are three 100s free all out on two minutes. The swimmers will still get a lot of rest, but with three 100s back-to-back it now becomes a lot more tiring. If the swimmers exert themselves enough, that second and third 100 will be really tough. This works not only\u00a0speed, but endurance and durability too. This translates well to finishing 100s and 200s in competitions.<\/p>\n

The 150s at the end are simply make cycle. It’s not a terribly difficult cycle, but it certainly isn’t easy. It’s more of an active swim to keep the heart rate from dipping too low before the recovery. Each round ends with a 100 easy on three minutes.<\/p>\n

In the second round, swimmers will do two of everything on a 1:50 interval. The rest decreases, but so do the repeats. By this point the swimmers bodies may be breaking down, so it’s important to fight through it and swim fast while they’re tired. On the final round, the cycle dips to 1:40 but there is only one of everything. On this round, the 150 is the hardest to make, but it adds the perfect exclamation point to a tough set.<\/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
