Isn't this sort of what the High School & College schedules are like? Granted they don't have a multi-day meet every week, but they certainly do MANY of the weeks. My sons HS schedule his last year included at LEAST one meet a week, and at least one of those was multi-day. Fortunately he graduated.
Yeah, I guess I remember doing a lot of dual meets during the season in high school, too.
We have a Y league around here that has meets every 2 weeks from September to March, then a championship meet in late March/early April.
I try to go to as many as I can easily drive to--they are great "sprint" practices, and a good place to test out different race strategies, gauge what kind of shape you are in, etc.
When Leslie made the point that Jazz and Speedo train like I was suggesting now, I think she's probably right. However, to my knowledge, Jazz rarely if ever goes further than a 50, though Speedo will swim 200s.
I was suggesting something along last weekend's shedule:
1650 warm up (1000; 8 x 50 on :50 accelerate second 25; 4 x 50 sprint 25/ez 25; easy 50)
1000 for time
break
650 warm up
100 all out
300 loosening swim
50 all out for time
25 fly all out for time
250 cool down
---------------------
next day:
1650 warm up(1000; 8 x 50 on :50 accelerate second 25; 4 x 50 sprint 25/ez 25; easy 50)
500 for time
break
650 warm up
25 free for time
300 loosening swim
200 all out
250 cool down
----------------------------
repeat the two above practices every other day for the next six months!
