Speed Set for 50m sprint

Speed set this week...geared to help you get ready for 50-meters sprints while training.
WARMUP:  600-800m
MAIN SET:  1950m
The idea is that you're alternating recovery-pace swimming with sets of 75s (and a final set of 50s) that are on long rest intervals.  Take the prescribed rest so that you can go FAST on the swims!  It's also important to descend your times.
This is a quality workout, not a mega workout.
1 X 225 recovery-pace freestyle on moderate interval
3 X 75 choice on 30 seconds rest interval; descend 1-3
2 X 125 recovery-pace free on moderate interval
3 X 75 choice on 45 seconds rest interval; descend 1-3
3 X 75 recovery-pace free on moderate interval
3 X 75 choice (ALL 3 FROM A DIVE) on 60 seconds rest interval; descend 1-3
3 X 75 recovery-pace free on moderate interval
3 X 50 choice (ALL 3 FROM A DIVE) on 90...120 seconds rest interval; descend 1-3.  (Take 90 seconds rest between 1st and 2nd 50.  Take 2 minutes rest between 2nd and 3rd 50.)
200 easy recovery
The above set should take 60-65 minutes.
WARMDOWN: 200

Thank You Lord! - Dedicated to all the Christians loggin in here. God Bless!

Advance Coaching in Competitive Swimming with National Coach David Lim : 19th -23rd Sept 2011

Does swimming make you smarter?

Research indicates: YES
LEARNING to swim could make children smarter, Queensland researchers believe.
A Griffith University research project will survey more than 10,000 youngsters aged up to five to find out if swimming advances physical, social, intellectual and language development.
Professor Robyn Jorgensen said anecdotal evidence found swimmers tended to be more confident than same-age, non-swimming peers.
She said the study was in its second year and is measuring the development of youngsters learning to swim against international milestones of child development..
"The preliminary data is coming back quite positive," she said. "Children in swimming schools appear to be more advanced in terms of their development." .
Ms Jorgensen said the research will also monitor young swimmers at 60 swim schools across Australia and cross reference the results with the earlier surveys..
"Then we'll take a smaller sample of children and test them against the milestones," she said. She said the swim teaching industry had ordered the research..
"When they're working with young kids, they've noticed the ones who have been in swimming longer are more advanced," she said..
Ms Jorgensen said this study was the largest of its kind in 30 years. The study will be run for four years..
