@traindaly: Swimmers need to be able to control their stroke rate to control their speed. And they need to be able to create as much as speed as possible at a given stroke rate. Let's develop that skill. Grab a tempo trainer and try this set. 4 Rounds through 75 Freestyle @ 30 cycles per minute 50 Freestyle @ 45 cycles per minute 25 Freestyle 60 cycles per minute The goal is to go each swim as fast as possible. Swimmers should try to get faster each round. They have to control their stroke rate AND learn how to create length to create speed. Simple and effective. *(Change the stroke rate to whatever makes sense for your swimmers. #swim #tempo #sprint #swimtechnique #swimdrills #swimsets
