  • I don't think Rushall recommends for instance to commit to 9 or 10 sessions of these per week. I think he goes as far as suggesting one session per day, which assuming a day off per week, translates into 6 sessions per week, which typically leaves at least 3 sessions for basic endurance work I think you're making a serious assumption here. Rushall never says this. All warmup cool down work is low level endurance right? At least half of your overall technical work will rely heavily on aerobic metabolism to supply energy. Sorry but you don't sprint sculling. You may sprint the single arm drill, but will you do it every time you do single arm drill? I doubt so. Yes, he certainly advocates warmups, cool downs, and recovery sets be done at lower intensity. I don't see any indication, though, that he feels drills should be incorporated in swimming workouts.
