Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments. 64.70.236.56/.../index.html At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...

  • Originally posted in the article THE GET OUT SWIM RULES!: We are all familiar with the get out swim. The get out swim usually happens towards the end of practice on a day when the coach is feeling particularly good or generous or if he needs to get to an appointment. I believe that the get out swim is one of the best things a coach can do. Why? It takes one swimmer out of practice. They are assigned a time by the coach. If they reach that time practice is over and everyone gets out. We swam get out swims also and they were great for mimicking meet pressure and excitement. We also had another novel set. Our Coach ( Greg Troy ) used to have "Stay In Swims" where if you made the set ( which kept getting harder or faster ) you got to stay in and continue swimming. You would feel guilty if you loafed to get out of practice. Although the article was more geared toward tapers, this "Stay In Swims" was geared during the height of training.
