What's your favorite workout?

10x100@2.15 (about 45 seconds rest) 1st 25 is freestyle minimum breathing 2nd 25 is choice stroke maximum effort 3rd 25 is freestyle minimum breathing 4th 25 is choice stramline kick The idea behind this is to get yourself into oxygen debt and still be able to sprint and kick strong. This set should only be done supervised and you should keep the breathing relatively comfortable depending on age and fitness. Along the same lines a breaststroke drill that I love doing works on the split stroke component. The set is swam over 100 metres: 1st 25 stroke - 2 kicks then split stroke - stroke (repeat till end of 25. You only breathe on the stroke. The two kicks are there to help gain speed and depth. 2nd 25 stroke - 3 kicks then split stroke - stroke (repeat till end of 25.) 3rd 25 max effort breaststroke 4th 25 Same as 1st 25 I find this really handy for breaststrokers to get used to the last turn of a race. Again you should read about the effects of hypoxic breathing because it can be dangerous if done too often or not properly.
