Hi all!
I'm brand new here however a life long competitive swimmer (Florida ..High school and college) and now a Master's swimmer at 36 years ....young.
I currently swim UNAT as there are no teams at all where I live. I am trying to start a team at the YMCA where I belong...looks promising.
In the mean time I swim with a friend or on my own but need help with w workout schedule.
I signed up for the UMD swim meet this August and plan to swim the 50 and 200 *** on day 1. Probably that will be it ...since it's my first meet in a long time.
Can anyone please suggest a good workout plan from now until August 23rd, 2008 geared towards Breastroke?????
THANK you.....
Even a website link that has workout's would be appreciated!
THANKS all!
So excited I found this discussion board!!!
Welcome Swimalison!
I swim breaststroke myself but have never really done a lot of breaststroke in my workouts. What I do is (a) drill breaststroke (wave action breaststroke was just coming into its own when I quit swimming, so I'm still trying to learn it), (b) kick breaststroke (almost exclusively, and I work it as hard as possible) and (c) do some limited race pace breaststroke sprints. Otherwise I'm generally swimming freestyle to build my aerobic base. I do this because I think it's very hard to maintain good technique while churning out breaststroke yardage.
You can probably modify any of the workouts posted on this site to fit that plan.
Good luck! Maybe somebody will have "real" workouts for you.
