Welcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set of the Week sponsored by <\/span>Commit Swimming.com<\/span><\/a>! This week\u2019s set is a breaststroke pace set with some drill work mixed in to help your athletes find their stroke and timing. Take a look at the set below and the description that follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

This moves through three rounds that each begin with breaststroke drills and progresses to full on breaststroke pace work. Each round starts\u00a0with 4 x 25\u2019s of your athletes\u2019 choice of breaststroke drills. Really encourage your athletes to come up with a drill progression on their own so they can figure out what they need to do to \u201cfind\u201d their strokes. This will help them develop\u00a0a routine that they can use to find their stroke even when they\u2019re tired (as they should be on the second and third rounds). <\/span><\/p>\n

Next are 2 x 50\u2019s of breaststroke with drill and build work to get them up and moving with their stroke before the focus of the set: the 8 x 25\u2019s breaststroke pace. You can choose to time them or just go on feel, but the 25\u2019s should be consistent from beginning to end. Take :10 – :15 seconds rest between each 25 or have them on a :30 or :35 interval to give them enough rest to go fast but not enough to fully recover between 25\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

After each round take a 50 or 100 easy to reset before getting back into the next round. Holding on to their stroke technique will get harder as they progress through each round, so make sure your athletes are staying focused during the drill work to maintain the integrity of their stroke. Happy swimming!<\/span><\/p>\n
