Former Member
HI,
I am a new masters coach and I am try to find some fun new things to do with my master swimmers. Like fun games, drills, and workouts to spice up some of my practices. If anyone has any ideas or suggests on things that you liked to do I would really appreciate your input. Thank you!!!!!:)

Exploding swims, eg:
300
2x150
3x100
4x75
6x50
12x25
Mix up the intervals, easy, then fast. On increase as you go along, making each swim shorter and faster with more rest.
----------------------------------
The black hole, eg:
Continuously:
4x200 on 3:20
4x100 on 1:30
4x50 on 40
4x25 on 18
-----------------------------------
20x25 from a dive on 45
make sure interval is plenty of rest; this is harder than it sounds.
Climb out on one side, dive on the other if circle swimming.
-----------------------------------
4x250 "IMs", do every stroke but allocate 1, 2, 3, and 4 lengths by choice of the athlete.
Butterflier IMs might be 100 fly, 50 back, 25 ***, 75 free
Breastroker IMs might be 50 fly, 25 back, 100 ***, 75 free
The fastest IM might be 50 fly, 75 back, 25 ***, 100 free
Swim fast,
Greg
