Hi,
I just joined a master's swim team and I don't understand all the lingo on the drill sheets (It's been 20 years since I've been on a swim team). What the heck is "4x100 odds free" or "8x50 Indianna", "200 over kick", "400 Rev IM 50 drill 50 swim"....there's lots more on the sheet that I don't get, but hopefully you get the idea!
I need something like "swim drills for dummies"!
Thanks if you can help. :confused:

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, the coach wasn't there today for my second practice, and I did ask a few questions of my lane mates. But, I didn't want to interrupt their workout with all my stupid questions. So, I just did my own thing, mostly practiced the stroke drills that the coach showed me the first day. (I can't believe how much swim form has changed since 20 years ago).
Anyway, I just thought it would make sense to study up on the lingo before my next practice.

Is there such a book or website (I could not find a website)?

Uh, guess that makes me an 'odd'. :eek:
