I mostly swim freestyle, actually ... I only swim freestyle. I'm thinking it would be good to throw in a few others, mainly *** and back (forget fly). How much time should I dedicate to these strokes outside of my regular freestyle sets? Cheers, Eric

  • Yeah ... it's tough to be creative at 5:30 am. One thing you can do is set up a week's worth of stuff ahead of time, with some agenda or theme for the week. This has always worked for me. Examples include drilling various parts of the stroke, developing "cross-over" drills that force you to think (like freestyle pull utilizing a dolphin kick, corkscrew swims, alternate breathing sides/breathing locations). I would think your 3*500 would get boring, although therre are times I have done similar workouts.
