Hi! Here's how I would interpret this workout. 4 FLY; 4 BACK; 4 ***, 4 FREE - SEE BELOW FOR EACH 25 4x25 fly, 4x25 back, 4x25 ***, 4x25 free probably :40-:45 second interval or :10-:20 seconds rest after each. FLY (1. LA RA FRONT 2. ON BACK HANDS ON SIDE DOLPHIN KKK 3. FRONT HANDS ON SIDE DOLPHIN KK 4. FAST) #1 one right arm stroke, one left arm stroke, one double arm stroke, #2 Dolphin kick on back/hands at side #3 Dolphin kick on stomach/hands at side, #4 fast butterfly BACK (1. LA 2. RA 3. SLIDE HIPS 4. FAST) #1 left arm only, #2 right arm only, #3 work hip rotation (could be wrong), #4 sprint backstroke *** (1. ARMS ONLY 2. LEGS ONLY 3. 1PULL 2 KK 4. FAST) Most of this is pretty self explanatory however, #3 should be written, "2 kicks to a pull" FREE (1.SWCU 2. FOCUS LA RL 3. FOCUS RA LL 4. FAST) #1 SW? Catch-up free (extend front arm in the catch phase until the other hand comes to meet it out front, then pull) #2 focus on left arm and right leg, #3 focus on right arm and left leg (coordination drill??), #4 sprint. WD -- BREATHING 5/3 BY 50S Warm down any number of 50s breathing every 5th or 3rd stroke (bilateral breathing). Hope that helps! Mike Hi, I want to do this workout Tuesday, but I don't know what this part means! Will one of you please help me out? Thanks a lot! 4 FLY; 4 BACK; 4 ***, 4 FREE - SEE BELOW FOR EACH 25 FLY (1.

Where did you find this? It's kinda advanced for a swimmers that does not know the "language". Good for you in trying it.

It is i believe the high intensity workout. That said, one has to be around that language to understand it. With enough studiousness and work ethic, solo swimmmers can be quite capable

Ha, I was looking at this workout today, too, figuring out what I want to do tomorrow for my first time in an actual pool in over 3 months. LA I take to mean Left Arm - those are drills. KKK and KK I take to mean the number of kicks. So on the fly drill, KKK means 3, rather than 2, dolphin kicks before a pause. Those are what I THINK it means, but I'm not sure.
