Hey outthere,
I'm a 16yrs old youth and I'm currently working on some workouts to help me improving my time on 50m ***.
Regardless of some people warning me about it, I am selfcoaching and it seems to work as I cut off my 50 *** time by at least 15 secs. (I started with 1:08s in early Dec and just reached the 52,5secs yesterday)
As I usually go to the pool twice a week I would like to create a set of 4 different workouts with different focuses (endurance, sprint, technique e.g.) to avoid a routine and continue on going down the time ladder.
I already made up two workouts but also they seem to work as I can complete them fairly well if some on really knows some thing about the subject could have a look over them for me and correct them as nessacary and also help me with the rest of the workouts.
Btw I recently read that doing a lot of breaststroke isn't that good for the knees. Is that right? Does it mean that I should do less breaststroke in my workouts?
Thanks for ya help

When I mention swimming 25 meters underwater, I mean full wavestyle breaststroke with the exact same timing as on the surface. I always start deep, at least 4-5 feet down near the bottom of the pool.
It is fast pull, kick and glide one second. I put a regular *** pulldown in first. Most good breaststrokers can swim a more perfect stroke underwater than on the surface:confused:
That is why it is such a good drill. I recommend having someone whatch you so you don't pass out etc.
