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!!!!!:)

Hi Swimgirl,
I agree with a previous post about the variety. In addition, Jim T already stated it, the way our coach (Bill White) created the weekly setup is by the following format:
Monday - mostly freestyle, longer distance
Wednesday - Mostly stroke/IM
Friday - Mostly sprint
A couple of things that I like to do is:
Golf game. (distance per stroke exercise)
do 2 sets of 4x50. Count your stroke on each 50 and check your time. Add the 2 together. On the next 50 do the same, but make the sum smaller, etc.
On the second set, the sum of the last 50 needs to be smaller than the last 50 of the 1st set.
The interval is based on the abilities of the swimmers.
Starts and turns
Do flipturns underwater (this helps you streamline)
