\nWelcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set of the Week sponsored by <\/span>Commit Swimming.com<\/span><\/a>! This week\u2019s set is an aerobic breaststroke set meant to work on lengthening out the stroke and controlling pacing. <\/span><\/p>\n

The main idea of the set is for the breaststroke\/free swims to be at a moderate to high aerobic level, while the kick\/drill work is meant to be more active recovery and a chance to reset their form between aerobic work. For any of the kick it may be helpful to have your swimmers put on a snorkel and ditch the kickboard, instead just holding their arms in front in a prone position to think about holding a strong body line on the surface of the water. Remind your swimmers this is the exact position they want to \u201cfall into\u201d at the end of every stroke and to work on maintaining that length even when they are tired. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch to make sure your swimmers\u2019 technique stays consistent through the set and remind them that an efficient breaststroke will lead to a faster (and less painful!) swim! Take a look at the set below:<\/span><\/p>\n
