\nAerobic Overload: Volume Revisited Part 2<\/span><\/h1>\n

By Michael J. Stott<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Last month<\/a>, Swimming World examined the role of volume in aquatic training. This month, some of America\u2019s most successful swimmers share how volume shaped their development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ELIZABETH BEISEL<\/span><\/strong>
\n\u201cI feel volume is an old school, taboo type of training, but that\u2019s why I am the athlete I am. With Chuck Batchelor as my coach at Bluefish (Mass.), volume was the way I got fast.
\n\u201cLiving almost an hour from the pool, I did not do doubles in middle or high school. My training was condensed into a nightly three-hour time slot. We did some dryland and running, but it was mostly swimming in a six-lane, 25-yard pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cChuck was brilliant in how he incorporated volume into workouts. The day before Thanksgiving was notoriously hard\u2014almost 20,000 yards\u2014but we were willing to do the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never had access to a long course pool, so Chuck added yardage by either extending practice by 30 minutes or, instead of 10 x 100 best average, we\u2019d do 10 x 125 best average. I loved the feeling of a strong woman, never backing down and being given something ridiculously hard and achieving it well.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur training group (including eventual NCAA champion Laura Sogar) thrived in that environment. We might not have liked some 10,000 set he gave us\u2014but at the end of the year, if we stepped up for a 400 IM, we recalled that 10,000 and knew we could finish better than anyone else. We were proud to be Chuck\u2019s Bluefish swimmers because we were the toughest. Chuck trusted us. We had a great line of communication and if we were super tired, he\u2019d change the workout,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Beisel\u2019s college choice was easy. University of Florida coach Gregg Troy and Batchelor shared similar training philosophies. In Gainesville, she experienced more dryland, the joy of running stadium steps and increased volume.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my body could handle it, especially 8k twice a day for two hours versus three hours straight of 12k or 16k for four (on Saturdays),\u201d Beisel admitted. \u201cI only kept getting faster and faster.\u201d An added bonus was a weekly phone call the three had to discuss her training.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll that work gave me a calming sense of confidence at race time, especially in the mile or 400 IM, \u201d she says. \u201cI had pride in being a distance and middle distance swimmer. You have to figure out for yourself how to be the best athlete possible, and for me that was through volume.\u201d<\/p>\n
