Welcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set of the Week sponsored by <\/span>Commit Swimming.com<\/span><\/a>! This week\u2019s set is a breaststroke set to work on lengthening out the stroke before getting down to some pace work. <\/span><\/p>\n

2 Rounds:
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0250 breaststroke as 150 smooth\/100 fast
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03 x 100 as 25 drill\/75 build breaststroke
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0250 kick\/swim by 50
\n<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04 x 50 breaststroke (#1 = smooth, #2-4 = descend to all out)<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

The first half of each round focuses on finding an efficient and smooth stroke before ramping the effort and tempo. Use the kick\/swim work as some active recovery before heading into the 4 x 50\u2019s at the end of each round. Watch to make sure your swimmers\u2019 distance per stroke and technique stays consistent throughout the set, and remind them that an efficient breaststroke is key to developing a stroke that can hold their pace over a 100 or 200 distance. Happy swimming!<\/span><\/p>\n
