5/26 Wednesday Masters Workout - Long Course Meters

For those that would like some variation and/or a more structured workout, I provide for you our groups workout from today. Our workouts are split into 5 different skill levels. Choose the column that most closely aligns with your skills and abilities and ignore the other 4. For those that are new to swimming, or just new to my groups workouts, columns 1-4 are time based and your rest is built into the interval. Column 5 is rest based and your interval may very but your rest will remain consistent. Because this is Masters, feel free to add/subtract/or modify in anyway you see fit. As our group likes to say, you have to do everything in the workout, unless you don’t want to.

Your arms should be in contact with your ears, but otherwise should not be touching. Propel yourself through the water by pressing down then up with your chest. You may want to do this drill with fins. -Body Dolphin Drill w/ Scull - Same general principle as above, but when you press your chest down, your arms should slightly press outwards like you were opening curtains (they should not go farther than if you were doing the Y from the YMCA song). As you bring your chest back up, your arms come back together in your starting superman pose. -DPS (Distance Per Stroke) = Maximize the distance traveled for each stroke while minimizing the total number of strokes to complete the set -IMO = Individual Medley Order (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle) -If you do the breast stroke kick on your back your knees should not come out of the water https://preview.redd.it/rb5pmns0ug171.jpg?width=792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9055b899535753cdf6a7196711ea40d34a8cdd59 submitted by /u/cdowd9006 [link] [comments]
