Swimming Set of the Week - July 15, 2011
Here's a fun short set ( approximately 1000) to help explore your arm cadence in freestyle.
All-Strokes - Underwater Tempo-Trainer Dolphins
In case you missed the Olympics last week, and in case you missed how swimming was sorta in the limelight, you may have also missed seeing how important underwater dolphins are to a swimmer's success. As a hint, it's the first thing we've started working on... even for us old Masters swimmers.

Swimming Set of the Week - October 2, 2009
What should you do 2 or 3 days out from a meet? Here's what our Masters team did a couple days prior to a Masters mini meet on October 3rd.
All Strokes - Tempo Trainer UP TEMPO
Reaching your potential in swimming means working on your distance per stroke... but increasing your cadence is also extremely important. If you have beautiful long strokes but no turnover, you're just going to look pretty... when you lose.
Freestyle/Backstroke - Tempo-Trainer Kick
Here's a fun drill that tests the upper limit of your flutter kick...and the lower limit of your Tempo Trainer.
Swimming Set of the Week - December 9, 2008
This week's set is a favorite at taper time -- roughly two or three weeks away from a big meet. It asks you to do 12 X 100, descending time gradually, and with control, until you're within six seconds of your target race time on the final 100.
