This week\u2019s set is a secondary set that can be incorporated into warm-up or following a high intensity set as active recovery work. Take a look at the set and it\u2019s description below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 Rounds:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 x 50 as 25 backwards free\/25 straight arm free on 1:30<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 find connection through the core and side body<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">4 x 75 pull w\/ paddles on 1:00<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 50 DPS\/25 build last 10 yards to no breath finish<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 x 50 swim descending interval<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 2 on :45, 2 on :40, 2 on :35<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50 regroup<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This incorporates a little bit of is drill, pulling, build, and descending intervals throughout, which makes it a flexible set to use either in warm-up or after an intense main set. Beginning with the drill work, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-drill-of-the-week-backwards-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the backwards freestyle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> works on developing good body line and length in the water in a different way, whereas <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fitter-and-faster-swim-drill-of-the-week-straight-arm-recovery-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the straight arm free<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> coming back channels that awareness of lines and body position into a drill emphasizing tempo and reach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving into the pull work, the focus becomes staying long and strong in the water while still making a challenging interval. Watch for the build at the end of the third 25 to make sure your athletes are keeping the length and efficiency in their stroke even as they speed up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you end with 6 x 50\u2019s with a descending interval where they put it all together, increasing their effort as the interval descends. A nice challenge on this last round of the set would be to ask swimmers to get no less than 5 seconds rest on each interval, which would help control their descend. Following the first round just take a 50 easy to regroup before going through everything again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated above, the nature of this set allows it to be useful both in warm-up or following a main set. The drill work, descending intervals, and building of speed throughout the set all makes it a great way for your athletes to get up and moving at the beginning of practice in a constructive way, whereas those same qualities may make it a great way to get in a little active recovery or short end aerobic work at the end of a workout. However you use it, the focus should be on the details of each swim to keep your athletes engaged. Happy swimming!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the supervision of a qualified coach or instructor, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Welcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set Of The Week!
