Hello there... just wondering about what people are doing in the pool these days.
What's your fave set that you have done lately?

Here are some sets that I love to do:
Broken 1650 -
You swim 11 laps, then 10, 9...and so one until you end up with just one lap left. You rest 10 seconds between each "set" of laps.
Here's another one:
Sometimes, if we have the right number of people, our coach breaks us up into teams of 3 or 4, but all the lanes have the same number of people. The levels vary - one slower person, one faster person (determined by best 100 time) and finally a really fast person is in each lane, so you don't end up with a lane full of really fast people and lanes of slower folks and non sprinters, like yours truly. Then we do a set of 5 x 100 on 5 minutes - 100 fast for time; and the rest is active recovery.
Everyone swims, and we leave 10 sec. apart. The lane that ends up with the lowest overall time wins!
Yet another favorite:
12 x 25 fly with fins on a really long interval - like 45 sec., which means these are FAST! (part of the reason for my love affair with fins).
:p
