My 10 year old daughter (and everyone on her team) has been tasked with designing a pre-meet workout for the team. I don't know if this is a mental excercise or if its serious. Can someone point me to a url or source of information for such a workout?
Age range: 8-14
5 x 2 hours workouts per week.
2500-3500 meters per workout except once a week they do stroke improvment.
They need to be able to do their workout in a pretty crowded lane, in a pretty crowded pool. Lots of 50's I think.

Apparently, the coach wanted to see what the swimmers thought a good warmup was and why.
We whipped something together last night.
200 Easy
2x50 Front Kick/Swim,
2x50 Back Kick/Swim
4x50 IM Order Drill/Swim
200 Free
4x50 Free Sprint
100 Easy
Apparently this was the longest/hardest of the bunch. At the other extreme was;
4x25 Free
2x100 IM
I am not sure what can be extracted from all this, but it was a fun excercise. The coach is going to discuss some of them at Dryland on Monday.
