I thought this would be an interesting discussion
How should you train to sprint 25's faster?
probably begin with
Testing your current 25 speed
then do some type of training
then
retest 25 speed
how often to retest?
What type of training?
Your thoughts are?
here's what influences 25 speed
Here's what a swimmer does
warms up
rests
puts on racing suit
reports to race
gets psyched + mentally prepares to go ballistic, tap your rage,
start
ready position
reaction time
jump +blast off the blocks, leg strength
dive
entry
streamline
glide
SDK or SFK (how many, how far)
breakout
swimming
head position / body position
arm movements
leg movements
strength
turn over
touch
1) equipment: suit cap and goggles
2) body shape, strength, proportions and flexibility
3) technique
4) mental: get in IPS
the swimmer would establish her best times then
attempt to improve them
looking to improve by 10ths and 100ths over
days, weeks and months
I think many swimmers
hope to improve their speed but their training maintains their ability to swim
200's and up
Speed training takes a different approach
