but it is long and many swimmers, especially beginners, might not know which items to address when. So I usually do a one on one Swim Faster Faster Session.
Where I:
1) time them for a 25 or 50 AFAP, with no instruction other than
GO as fast as you can
when they do it, I time them and watch them, looking for a few things to correct
2) have them rest a few minutes & do some easy 25's where they attempt the corrections, I give them feedback and suggestions after each 25
3) then they rest another minute or 2 I have them do another AFAP timed swim, with a few short instructions/corrections.
Plus I sometimes help swimmers design season training plans tailored to the things that will help them improve the most. Some improvements can be instant while others take time.
