Wow Tribogota! That seems like it would be a great swim workout- esp by the fourth set!!!
Our practice today looked like this
100 swim
100kick
100 pull
x4
Drills 8 x50 Drill as right arm/left arm/kick on side/count strokes

6 x 25 on 40 sec
main set
3 x 10 minutes descending
based on 1500 meter time- I tried to hold a 1:40 pace the whole way but my last 10 min was not descending
cool down

Did 1350 today. I could have done more, but I was getting kind of bored! I think next time, I'm going to make up an actual plan so that I have something to follow to keep my brain engaged.

I managed 6x100 with 30-1:00 rests between (which is pretty amazing for me) AND I did a 150 without stopping, too!

I'm also very consistent. My 50's, 100's and my 150 were all of the same pace.

I did 2100m today. A lot of kicking sets in there. At the end I had to do 6X50 fast and I think I am finally seeing progress. Times ranged from :57-1:00 which for me, is pretty fast.

I wanna be like you guys when I grow up...

2000 yds today. I went out without a plan, and not feeling great. I'm PMSing so bad, and I'm so bloated that I thought my boobs would float away on their own.

I did manage to do a 400 yd interval and a few 200s, followed by random 100s and 50s. None of it was fast or pretty, but I just wanted to do the distance. I'll do something more organized today... if I can keep the boobs corralled.

Another great swim class last night. We worked on stroke technique some more (and breathing) with some additional alignment drills and things just fell further into place. I truly felt like I was gliding through the water with very little effort. I asked for assessment on my breathing since I felt more drag when breathing to the right than to the left and he said that I looked good both ways and that most everyone just has a better side. I also got complements from a couple of the other attendees that my stroke looked really good. Yay me!

I'm super excited for my next swim to put these things into place again. Seriously....I'm beginning to think that swimming is FUN!!
