I am a newbie, so I'm gonna ask a newbie question. What is the best way to learn the language of workouts and drills. I swam as a kid, but apparently never to the level of learning the insider shorthand. When I look at drills posted on a board, a lot of it may as well be in Mandarin! Help! Thanks for the hand up!

  • Yeah, it takes a while. I can't call myself a newbie any more since I've been swimming with a team 2 yrs now, but I still sometimes see a notation that I don't quite get. There are two different coaches and they may use slightly different shorthand for things. I will simply stop and ask what's that. They are always happy to clarify.
