Last spring I could do 50's on 60 and get a little rest - Now that I haven't swam for 5 months (I'm bad) It takes me at least 60 to do 50 so I would be doing a marathon sprint session

I just thought of this - once in awhile force your self to go w/ only a brief rest. when I first started all the veterans were way faster than me - they would get a 15 second rest and I would touch, turn, gasp and have to go again About every 3rd one I would just do a 25 or if they were doing 100's I would just do 75. Pretty soon I was swimming w/ the big girls. UNTIL the HS girls swim team would work out at the same time THEN we couldn't keep up w/ the LITTLE girls

That's cool to have a lane set up for speed drills, we just have to watch the clock. When I was swimming with a coach she would set up different lines on the clock for 60s, 70s, etc - some were swimming with long fins, some w/ short fins and some au natural - we did wear suits though Dang why did she have to quit ????? I am going to try to get her to write down some of the training sessions. She sits next to me during Parent teacher conferences but she was too busy tonight for me to pester her (Maybe tomorrow

It will be fun to see our times get faster again as we start swimming more.
