There is a method, which is referred to as the Rushall method which Michael Andrew uses.
Was wondering if you had any critique about this. If this sort of training is a good idea and what are the problems.
Would this also be good for longer events? Like the 400 IM?
Thanks!
I use both a garmin swim and a sportcount finger watch in combination.
Say I'm doing a set of 30x25 on the 14.5
I set the garmin REST TIMER to enable, and countdown enabled to.
I use the finger watch to get accurate times and keep a scuba notebook on deck to write down my times every few sets (doing it every time is a pain).
I also stop the garmin watch after each interval, knowing the splits aren't accurate, but I can then use it as a way to gauge rest.
I use the countdown timer so i don't have to push off the wall, press the garmin, and press the finger watch at the same time, so at 56.5, I press start and go at the beep.
I was finding my walls were suffering because I was reaching over to stop my watch as I was rushing to stop the watch and doing a 2 handed touch. I think for 50s and up, the garmin is great, but more limited on the short stuff.
