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!
The coached workouts here on the forums generally have a "sticky" post that describe the terms used in their workouts. While most of the lingo is somewhat universal, a particular team many have their own phrases. One of the great things about most Masters groups is that swimmers are happy to answer questions and help translate things that don't make sense...just ask!
