Well the start of the highschool swim season was like 2 weeks ago.We have our first meet the 30th....and im very nervous. Other than that...our coach has had us do just about every practice with fins...the whole time....i had this same problem lasdt year but it was toward the end of the seasopn and everyone was getting lazy.I swim the 500.He has us working a sprint practice.Is there any possible way the using fins the whole practice and doping a sprint work out could possibly help me with the 500? i have asked him for a distance workout to do and he got one and had the whole team do it one night but that was about it. Im at a loss. any advice?

  • Amy, The good news is that all workouts will help! If High School swimming in Ohio is anything like here in Georgia, the lanes are overcrowded, there is a poor coach to swimmer ratio, some swimmers need lots of technical help (stroke wise), and a lot of the swimmers are not in terrific swimming shape. If this is the case it may be tough to get in many distance sets or even have the coach set-up a distance lane. But, it can’t hurt to see if there could be a distance lane for a couple of practices each week. If that doesn’t work, you could always hit the pool on your own to get in some bonus swimming, where you could get in your own personal distance workout. And, GOOD LUCK with the meet next week!
