I am looking at putting together a sheet for my new masters swimmers about all the different swimming terminology and acronyms coaches use on deck.
I will start with a few.... Please add as many as you can and I will re-post what I put together.
DPS - Distance per stroke
Rev IMO - Reverse Individual Medley Order
R Arm - Right Arm only
L Arm - Left Arm only
Inv K - Inverted Kick
Alternate Breathe - breathing pattern that consist's of equal number of breath's on the left side as the right, typically done in threes, breathe left, stroke three times, breathe right, stroke three times, repeat.
Some workout posted here and other places say, for instance, 75 kick/drill/swim. In this case, what does "drill" mean???
Also have a question about what "descend" and "ascend" mean in workouts.
Thanks for any help!
Drill means that you do a stroke drill instead of a swim.
Descend means that you increase your speed as you go through the set, meaning that your time should be faster than the one before it. Ascend means that you decrease your speed as you go through the set. Each repeat should be slower than the one before it.
Hope this helps.
