Every Coach and Swimmer needs to read this...

All, Just back from World Clinic in New Orleans. Probably the most important message I got was this one. www.swimvortex.com/.../ Scott Bay Head Coach - ASCA Level 5 Blu Frog Team USMS Coaches Chair Florida LMSC Chair scottbay@usms.org 386.341.2899

  • Thanks Allen. What I meant to express was actually train for a 50 races which would involve one breath S/LCM (none for SCY). As for training limits, maybe 25 + turn and 2 strokes max (with sufficient air remainder) for fast hypoxic work, and maybe a 50 with fins (only if I'm not pushing). Hypoxic repeats done with sufficient rest, to stabilize whatever inconsistancy there is between blood and percieved CO2. Lifeguards must be present. Like Kirk said, listen to it (don't push). A while ago I actually pushed things a bit too far, definately didn't feel right. Not going near that again.
