Introduction.
I coach 3 mornings a week at a 25 meter pool with an average of 25 swimmers in 5 lanes. I coach 2 evenings a week at a 25 yard pool with an average of 12-14 swimmers in 5 lanes. Both workouts are for one hour. They are mixed groups with competitive swimmers, triathletes, and people who just want a good workout. Ages range from 20 to 87, with an occassional teen-ager dropping in. My emphasis is on techinique and pace. I swim 3 days a week with a coach at a Y pool. I use some sets that I learn from my coach, Laura Peter. I also write a workout for myself for Saturday mornings. The workouts that I coach are 2500-2800 meters for the fastest lane, scaled down for other lanes. In the yard pool, they are 2700-3000 yards for the fastest lanes. For my personal workouts, I aim for 2500 yards and try to boost it to 2700 in the fall.
Workouts will be sparse for the next 3 weeks.
The pool where I coach at night is closed for 3 months for major renovation.
The morning pool closed Friday, Aug 26, in preparation for the hurricane. It will be closed for 3 weeks for routine maintenance. The city closes each pool for 2-3 weeks each year. I hate to miss swimming, but it enables the staff to keep the pools in great shape.
When I write workouts for myself, I'll post them.
