The IM swims are all-out and can be done from either a dive or a push depending on the needs of your training group. Between each IM are 50\u2019s free on a minute to give your swimmers some active recovery and time to stretch out before their next fast swim. Depending on your group, they can also mix in easy stroke or stroke drill to keep their non-free strokes feeling good. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the IM swims are all-out, a big focus for this set should be on turns, specifically transition turns. Make sure your swimmers are pacing the swims correctly and that they are accelerating into every wall. While swimmers often get plenty of opportunities to practice transition turns on their own, less often do they get the chance to work on their transition turns within an all-out IM swim outside of a meet. This challenges them to stay focused on their technique and race two lengths of IM that they don\u2019t typically see in meets. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each round is 1200 yards, making it easy to add or subtract rounds relative to your needs and where your team is in their training cycle. This can be a fun set to incorporate throughout the year in different versions, doing more rounds during a volume endurance phase and going down to only one round as you are entering a rest phase. 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 <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">qualified coach or instructor, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set of the Week!
